I know the (C) Brain virus is not new...but it is back. Both George Mason University and Northern Virginia Community College have been re-infected with the Brain virus. From what I could tell by talking to one of the consultants at GMU, this is the same version of Brain that both schools were infected with before. If it is, here is some background data: It works on MS/PC DOS operating systems (at least up to 3.3); this version will only infect 5.25" DS DD disks; once loaded into a machine, it will infect EVERY 5.25" disk it comes in contact with; it is only loaded when the machine is booted. If anyone else (or any other school) is experiencing a re-infection of the Brain virus, please send mail directly to me and let me know...I would be interested. Thanks in advance!!
