It seems that there is a new version of nVIR A, or at least that's what the program Disinfectant reported. I will try to explain what it did to my system. Unfortunately before I noticed that it didn't behave as the well known nVIR A I erradicated it with Disinfectant. After I run the infected program (a THINK C program) it changed the type of the files in the same folder (and folders therein) into a seemingly random type, taken from another file. That is, if you list the files by KIND under normal circumstances you would get THINK C as the kind, but after I run the infected program it changed the type to "vamos.c" that was just a file in the same folder. Upon further explorations with ResEdit I found in the Desktop file in the APPL resource a repetition. With Creator KAHL (as for all THINK C programs) but Application "vamos.c". I also found a resource of type =/VIR (for typographical reasons by =/ I mean the symbol for not equal). Remember that I had already ran Disinfectant. Does anyone have a clue? or a similar problem?
