     On Tuesday, Nov. 28, we had an infection of the Jerusalem B virus
here in at least two campus DOS student clusters (56+ machines).  As a
result of regular backups being made of the server in at least one of
the clusters, a verified uninfected restoral was successfully made and
all cluster disks were again checked for infection.  It would appear
that the majority of the damage has been repaired, but it is likely
that there are some infected floppies floating around now. Users are
being advised of this and appropriate software has been installed to
help prevent a reoccurrance of the infection.  More specific
information can be obtained by sending e-mail to me directly.
