The follow was recieved over the IBMPC-L list. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Jun 89 17:39:41 EDT From: ejs@goldhill.com (Eric Swenson) Subject: Virus? Help! My wife's office has gotten the following messages printed out on their networked laserprinter. She doesn't know which workstation on the Novell network originated the printouts and no banners on printed documents are used, so it is hard to track down. In any case, the output included: THE COPY BANDITO SAYS YOUR SYSTEM HAS BEEN INVADED BY STRANGE BEINGS WHO SEEK TO DISRUPT THE NORMAL LIFE ESSENSE PURVEYING YOUR PLACE OF WORSHIP. WHAT IS IT THAT YOU PRAY TO? IS ANYONE SMART ENOUGH? TIMES UP! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOW DOWN NO ONW [sic] HAS THE BRAINS Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone have an suggestions as to how to track down which program contains this virus (if it is a virus)? Thanks. -- Eric
