Dear Members of treg and emc-pstc distribution list, Yesterday I posted messages with enclosed files infected with CONCEPT virus. I was unaware of infection and I am very sorry for inconvenience I caused to some of our Members.
Thanks goes to Matt Campanella and other members who detected infection and posted warning as well as effective antidote SCANPROT.DOT. Distributed files (Guidelines on the Application of EMC Directive) will be posted in its entirety on The IEEE Electromagnetic Society Compatibility and Regulatory Compliance Information Center web pages.

List-Post: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, September 18, 1996 1:09AM The Word Concept virus is a fairly benign but certainly is a nuisance I doubt Mirko knew his system was infected. I've received the Concept virus three times in the last two months from vendors and business partners that didn't know their systems were infected. The virus can be removed by many of the available Virus scan programs. A few months ago Microsoft provided "Scanprot.dot", a Word template providing macros which scan the hard disk for the Concept virus, disinfect infected files, and add monitor macros to the Global template. The monitor macros give an alert when a file containing macros is opened. It seems to alert for ANY macros not just Concept virus macros but does give an option to disable or not to disable the file's macros. To scan and remove the Concept virus from your hard disk, simply open the enclosed Scanprot.dot file from Word and follow prompt instructions. Matt Campanella <<File Attachment: Scanprot.dot>>
