I've heard back from a few of you that believe you may be infected, so
I'm posting this to the entire group.
Information on the Wazzu.A macro virus can be found at
http://www4.zdnet.com/pccomp/oc/faqs/0597faqs.html
and probably at a number of other sites. This one, however, has
instructions for how to determine if you have been infected and a
(tedious and lengthy) way of cleaning it out.
One site for macro virus scan and protection software can be found
at:
URL: http://www.datafellows.com/f-prot/
There is a limited free version of F-PROT that you may download
through this site, but I*m not sure it will kill the wazzu macro virus (there
are several varieties). You also may purchase a copy of the full F-PROT
software through the site. We procured a copy of F-MACROW that
specifically scans for and kills macro viruses through a cooperating
organization, so I don*t know the cost.
