7.7 Esperanto.4733 (Viruses and the Mac)

This probably doesn't belong here. It's a PC file infector which
works with a number of PC executable file formats. When it was
first seen, it was reported to be a multiplatform virus capable of
executing under some circumstances on Macintoshes. Subsequent

anti-virus vendors still list it as capable of activating on a
Macintosh. No Mac scanner is known to attempt to detect it.
