  6. GENERAL 
  7. INFORMATION:   A customer was having strange problems.  His 1.2MB floppy on
  8.                his workstation suddenly started formatting all of his
  9.                diskettes as 360's.  
  10.  
  11.                His hard drive would disappear when trying to boot.  If he
  12.                booted to DOS first, then it would come back.  Netscan
  13.                identfied a virus called the "Joshi" virus on his
  14.                workstation.
  15.  
  16.                He called us because someone uploaded it to their file
  17.                server.  We don't know what effect this will have, but it's
  18.                not promising.  Apparently this virus may come from India.
  19.                This is a new virus so it's not too widespread yet.
