Note the phrase "... only affects Windows PCs."
I think we need a new acronym for viruses "WOOK" - for "Windows-Only,
Others OK."
So, Gunsan is yet another WOOK virus.

"Gunsan has spread modestly since its discovery late
last month. It deletes files needed by antivirus and
firewall products (including all files that contain
mcafee, softice, numega, antivirus, anti-virus,
win32dasm, sophos, catsclaw, claw95, lockdown,
symantec, firewall, virusscan, virus-scan, fprot,
f-prot, zone labs, or atguard in their path). Gunsan
only affects Windows PCs and can cause system
instability by deleting important system files. "
