Ken, I recommend the McAfee virus scanner & cleaner programs on the VIRUSFORUM. The command for CLN84.ZIP (the extractor) is CLEAN C: [STONED]. Note: the virus infects the partition table, so a low-level format will get rid of it (not useful for those with IDE drives), but not re-partitioning or a FORMAT. The virus remover *CAN* blow your partition (losing all data anyway) so back the sucker up, bad as it is. My customer was lucky, and removal was clean. Kevin Krell – Computer Support Associates
