1104.0. "VIRUS'S" by SEDSWS::WATT (It's life Jim, but not as we know it.) Tue Jan 26 1988 09:15

    Just a word of warning. There are two virus's flying round the UK
    at the moment. One just gives a GOTCHA message whilst the other
    will delete all fat entries/directorys on any disk installed. It
    resides on the boot sector and will pass itself on to any disk,
    which means that any game that uses the bootsector will be corrupted.
    Silica shop in the UK have produced a VIRUS killer program that
    will get rid of both of these nasties. If you need any more info
    on this please let me know.
    
    Regards Peter.

1104.1Yet another virus?LINCON::WOODBURYOK, now you can panic.Tue Jan 26 1988 17:205
	I heard a rumor at the 64 store here in Atlanta that there is another 
virus floating around that hides itself in the clock memory.  It will not 
even go away if you power off the machine.  I have no idea how this would 
work and am more than a little skeptical but I am passing on the rumor for 
whatever it may be worth.
1104.2A suspectUTRTSC::VISFri Feb 12 1988 10:396
	There's a Rumor about Amiga aids here in Holland. I've hered
    the name: "Swiss Crackers Association" once or twice. According
    to a newspaper Commodore suspects them as a initial distributor.
    Just warning......
