[comp.virus] Virus attacking WP 5.0

DKAZEM@NAS.BITNET (Don Kazem) (06/28/89)

         We have a problem here with Wordperfect 5.0 and I am not
         sure if it is a virus infection. It does look quite
         suspicious, however.

         The problem is that when WP 5.0 is loaded and users try to
         retrieve a file that was created by the same program, an
         error message appears stating that there is not enough
         storage. This is despite the fact that there is 5 Megs of
         space left. This does not happen with every file, but the
         ones that this happens to, are trashed beyond repair.

         Although, the size of the WP.EXE has not changed, the
         checksum is radically different from the copy of WP.EXE on
         the master disk.

         Has anyone encountered anything like this before?
         Do you think this could be virus?
