Subj:Virus
I saw this on a friend's computer-we were unable to install any new
software. I believe it was called the "Form" virus. I re-formatted his HD,
though I don't know if that was necessary-at least it worked.

For the past month my hard drives have picked up strange subdirectories
that consist of a very long chain of
\<<\<<\<<\<<\<<\<<\<<\<<\<<\<<\<<\<<\<<\<<\<<\<<\<<\<<\<<\<<\<< and so
on for hundreds of repititions.  This makes searching for anything in
these drives very difficult and time-consuming.
I think it's a virus and at one time NAV flashed a "Word Macro Virus"
alert, but it didn't fix it and I didn't get that warning again.
Has anyone seen something like this?  Is be a virus or might it be
something else?  My next step is to format my disks and all the hassle
involved with that.  I'd appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks, George
