We ran into a Word virus here yesterday. I think it is a different one than
the Concept Virus because this one actually deleted help files and control
panel files from several people's machines. It, too, came in from a client.
One of the solutions used here is to change the file attributes on NORMAL.DOT
to read-only. That way, you avoid having the Word macro viruses store
themselves on your machine.
