Question
There is a 90's horror movie that takes place on a russian ship that intercepts an alien signal that infects the computer on board and starts killing people that are checking the ship out.  Anyone have a clue on the title of this movie

Answer
Hi Fred,

The movie you are looking for is called "Virus" made in 1999. Here is a plot summary from imdb.com:

"Jamie Lee Curtis, William Baldwin and Donald Sutherland star as tugboat passengers who take refuge from a storm in a seemingly abandoned Russian intelligence post. They soon discover that the crew was murdered by aliens who think of humans as a virus that must be exterminated. The storm doesn't go away, and they find themselves stuck with the aliens with only two options: to fight or to die."

Here is the film's trailer:

Best of luck,
