Subject: nVIR in UK version of MS Word 4 beta (Mac)
I am forwarding this from the Mac-User list in Europe concerning a
beta copy of MS Word for the Mac that is infected with the nVIR virus.
I'm not sure, but I would assume that it would not affect those of us
in the US.
I'm just reposting this, I'm not responsible :-)

I Have just received a copy of WORD 4 B10 from Text 100.
It contains the nVIR virus!
All UK developers or reviewers who receive Betas from Microsoft UK be
warned! I7m afraid I didn't beleive what Vaccine was telling me by
crashing the System when I first tried to load the program, so I
removed all my CDEVS, INITS, etc. ResEdit later told me what had been
going on... fortunately only ResEdit and the System & Finder files had
time to get infected!
Bit of a naughty one that eh?!
