There is a seven.c virus written for windows, if you run softwindows it could be infected.

I am on OSX running Sophos anti virus. The message I got was Virus Found "Mac/SevenD-C" in quark5 1.01 .
Any ideas about what this is?
Thanx mattintosh

Coud this be a placed Windows Word DOC carrying the virus?

Most viruses reported on Mac are Windows viruses that do not affect Mac OS but can be carried on Mac OS back to Windows.

...of course, you could always use your Sophos software to tell you what virus this is, just like any other anti-virus software:
