Westwood (computer Virus)

Westwood is a computer virus, a variant of the Jerusalem family, discovered August 1990, in Westwood, California. The virus was isolated by a UCLA engineering student who discovered it in a copy of the "speed.com" program distributed with a new motherboard. Viral infection was first indicated when an early version of Microsoft Word reported internal checksum failure and failed to run.
