Hey, you must have a fair collection of virii ,now...

Anyway, i just got to thank you for getting rid of a nasty polymorphic one , that changed the mount command and infected hundreds of files, ( in an hour! ).

i had a back-up anyway.

Forget the name of it ( i wish i had a specimen...).

Thanks.

Shhhh!

Keep it quiet!

But, i suppose THEY will target the new OS ,when it  gets more publicity.

Oh well, enjoy it while you can! :-D

Yes , i read that is possible.
(but probably safe to ignore)

What is improbable ( i read once ) is for a virus to reside in the clock (mem-bat?) memory.

I remember that i once had GREAT problems with a
UNKNOWN program that kept crashing my machine.
This was a long time ago , I used my write protected
, original  wb disks, and i had  4 mb accelerator with
onboard clock ( for my 1200 ).
I never did find the Virus.
But , i can tell you, that when i reset the battery on the accelerator, all was fine...

Can anybody tell me i made this up?
