While working the other day (I work at Staples, heaven help me......), someone mentioned to me that he had acquired a virus the hard way. That is, his system was infected.

The charactaristics he described were interesting--whenever the user attempts to delete a file, the virus program copies the file. And also, this virus will work eratically, retreating to dormancy for periods of time.

This gentleman told me that he had talked to the Norton Antivirus people about the problem; they had told him that they could not write anything to fix it until Microsoft gave them permission to poke around in sections of code. From what I understand, this virus infects the macros.

My question to everybody is: is this really a legitamite virus? What is it called?

It sounds, from what I've heard, to be a clever piece of coding.....I'd like to take a look at it, if only to try to figure out what makes it tick......
