Gidday Lawrence LK>> CONCEPT does nothing but foul up your DOC/DOT management. You can LK>> only save your text as DOT. It's annoying, but nothing more... LK> LK> Apparently (according to Microsoft) it may actually do more than that. LK> At our company, we got hit with the concept virus--as most places did. LK> Over a period of time, we noticed more and more corrupt documents. In LK> trying to determine what may have caused it, MS stated to restore the LK> templates *before* the concept virus hitting (even though we had clean LK> templates). After that restoration, the corrupt documents disappeared. LK> There may be more to the concept virus than meets the eye. It *may* be LK> instrumental in the demise of document integrity. LK> At our organisation, a Government department, we often get 'hit' by the Concept virus, it is really quite serious as it has the ability to remove all your hard work in a document, I had an experience with my boss who asked me for help as he could not e-mail a word 6 document, so I had a go with no avail, then took the document which was on a floppy to my machine and opened it up, all the boss's work of some 3 to 4 hours was gone! the document was empty, I then scanned it and found the concept virus. You are right, there is more to this macro virus than a nuisance! cheers, Wayne wfallen@tpgi.com.au fallenwr@citec.qld.gov.au --- FIPS/32 v0.98 W95/NT [M] (3:640/531.4) Dumb question #4,387: I am running Word7 for Win95, which was a part of Office95.
