Hi Tyson!
I found an ALC virus in a public scene: tyFlow_scenes_016\Splines\tyFlow_splines_004.max
it creates two objects in a scene with incomprehensible symbols that cannot be deleted,
and then infects scripts in the 3ds Max/startup folder
you can remove this virus from the scene with a free script: ALC_fixup_v1_2.ms
