Hi everyone

I might sound like I am a bit crazy or something, but here is my problem. There is a customer who is having a problem when he tries to open his report from application, which is running on ORACLE DATABASE. The message he gets is about a Wormy-1 virus, he wants me to check or scan the database. Well maybe I am missing something here, that virus, Wormy-1 is a word document virus, thus Microsft related and if there was anything on the database then it should have affected the datafiles on the O/S. I tried to explain this to this user, but hey he is very difficult. I tried to pass the request to Application guys to check, but they can't help either. Now, is it possible that the said virus is on a database, if so then where and how do I fix it. There is nothing with the database, it's up and running and no errors on the alert log. Where do I go from here, please help me this user is kinda not patient and doesn't want to understand ?
