AutoStart virus on CorelDraw CD

AutoStart virus on CorelDraw CD

CNET staff
With all the current attention to the new Graphics Accelerator virus, let's not forget that the older AutoStart virus is still with us. We continue to get reports of new places where it crops up. Its latest appearance is on the CorelDraw 8 for Power Macintosh CD-ROM disc! Since there is no way to eradicate it from a CD, your only protection is to make sure that QuickTime's AutoStart feature is disabled before you insert the CD. Contact Corel at 1-800-77COREL for a replacement disc. (Thanks, Brett Popovich.)
