I found both viruses via Virex (a G3 checking a CD & a zip disk), not my G4 although the first one affected my G4 & after a month of passing the virus via 'StuffIt', my backup disks were affected somewhat. Despite being very old viruses. Glad to know the OSX viruses are at least still only on that beware of the horizon level.
By the way, about 10 months after the initial infection, one of my HDD's failed (the one that had been infected). I greatly suspect the virus influenced this result! It was the original HDD & only 18 mths old. Such a short life!
I'm surprised to see most of Norton AV's newer definitions seem to be for pc (or am I mistaken? [or perhaps for MS products]) I guess that takes in account for multi-platform networks, etc. |
