I was dismayed to find that my account had been affected by whatever it is that
is on the Athena stations.  I exectued the three commands given at the login
prompt.  

I would like to know more about this virus thing.  Should I be concerned about
the files in my directory?  What did I do to become affected, and how can I
avoid this in the future?


Thanks,
Stephen Ho
