- Funny! Some people here have used Win95 for about a month and we have now
- had our first major outbreak of computer viruses. And it was only the Win95
- machines that got hit! Junkie killed the harddisk of one and Monkey was all
- over the Win 95 systems. It even infected a WinNT system. The only systems
- that stayed clear of the viruses wat the UNIX and OS/2 machines. All our
- machines are networked on the same network. We have used PC's for as long
- as they have existed and not one single virus until Win95.

- Just a coincidence????
