Well, it is highly likely that this is a fluke and you should take it up with
VirusScan. Even before looking, I can tell you that all the build machines run
Norton AntiVirus regularly.
I just updated my Norton anti-virus to the latest defs, which are dated
03/01/2000 and it found no viruses on a scan of that same CD. I check the virus
list, but did not find one labelled W32/Azaco.cmp.GR though I did see one
labeled W32.Azaco.8192.A. I have no idea if they are the same or not. But
W32.Azaco.8192.A. infects only EXE files and is very rare. What does
W32/Azaco.cmp.GR infect? The files you have identified are read-only message
catalogs and contian no executable code.

Subject: [NV-L] virus on Netview NT 5.1.2 CD?
Greetings all,
I found a virus using VirusScan NT (Network Associates) scan engine 4.0.02
with virus definition file version 4.0.4067 dated March 1, 2000. It is
identified as W32/Azaco.cmp.GR and appears to infect file:
\usr\ov\nls\c\filtered.cat. The virus is also on the CD in file:
intel\nvfiles\filtered.cat.
Does anyone know if this is a serious virus or if it's being reported by
VirusScan in error? The virus could not be removed automatically by
VirusScan so I removed the read attribute and deleted it manually. Is this
an important file for Netview operation?
Does IBM know about this?
Please help.
