496.0. "NF Virus" by ALFSS2::WATKINS_L () Thu Apr 17 1997 13:12

    The last two days I have been getting a message from F-prot that some
    of my .doc files are infected with the NF virus. Sweep was apparently
    not finding it, but I checked and I had it set for Executables only,
    That has been changed.
    
    Problem is I can find no other reference to NF virus.

Hi Larry,

	For info on the NF virus, try doing a search for 
Winword/NF in the Sweep Virus Library.  In general, all 
Word macro viruses begin with Winword and all Excel 
macro viruses begin with Excel.

	HTH.

Regards,
Arthur
