in a word... yes...
and the term "highly unlikely" is somewhat subjective...
do you know under what circumstances a virus will get added to the wild
list? the report has to come from a trusted source, which means that joe
blow can't tell them that he got such and such a virus and expect them
to add that to the prevailence tables...
someone just a few days ago posted in here requesting help with the
marawi.2719 virus... a check of the march'97 version of the wild list
shows no such beastie there (and it is the caro name for this virus)...
it's things like this that make me feel that the wild list is of
questionable value...
... beware of quantum ducks... Quark! Quark! Quark!...
