Yes, it is a Windows virus (W97), which is not strictly to do with OS X.  I
take it that we are just vulnerable because we don't have active antivirus
protection on OS X.

The virus seems to do nothing to our machines except spread. It's
transmitted on Word documents we create and presses alarm bells for PC users
who receive them.  At this stage it is only our reputation that is
suffering.
