Subject: BE AWARE!!!: Possibly a VIRUS has been in NERO5.ZIP !!

Ryan Allen wrote me that he had downloaded NERO 5 and found in the package
a program named "GO.EXE" which was infected by TAIPAN (Taipei) virus.

I don't know how this can be. I have put there only TWO files: NERO5.EXE
and NERO5.TXT. There shouldn't have been anything else there. Perhaps he
has got his GO.EXE from somewhere else.

IF you have downloaded Nero 5 before 15th June and got this GO.EXE, please
delete it. Mr. Allen said that NERO5.EXE itself is OK.

On thursday I updated NERO 5. Everything should be OK now.


I ASK SOMEONE FOR A FAVOR:

If you have good ANTI-VIRUS software on your computer, could you DOWNLOAD
my ZIP-files and CHECK them. I haven't found anything strange in them
myself, but it would be good to test to be sure.
