Hejsa
Her er et svar, jeg har fået fra én, der også har haft 'besøg' af frk. Nimda
alias Melissa-et-eller-andet-variant. Og som det fremgår, kan Nimda ikke
umiddelvbart eksekveres på en Mac, MEN - harddisken kan blive fyldt op med
filerne fra den gennem netværk. - Så der er ikke andet at gøre end at rense
ud.

> following names:
>
> WW32/Nimda@mm
> PE_NIMDA.A
> I-Worm.Nimda
> W32/Nimda-A
> Win32.Nimda.A

> You wonder if there is any hazard of this worm/virus infecting your

> Solution:
> This is a Windows specific worm/virus and cannot infect a Macintosh. Since
