The oddity about the Dukakis Virus is that its code is 100% pure
HyperTalk, and contaminates only HyperCard stacks. During the
contamination, it displays "Dukakis for president" in the
Message window. The original "syringue" stack appeared originally on
CompuServe (SPEAKS.SIT) and was downloaded 8 times only before it was removed,
but the full source has been shown and discussed on Delphi.
The following vaccine script will protect your stacks from being
contaminated with the "set script" trick used by the Dukakis Virus.
Just paste it into your Home Stack.
