Do any one knows exactly how the virus are working? Is there a file here in the forum describing why and how the virus is duplicated on other disks? Clement Drolet

Clement, Yes, the virus is well known both as to effect and method of operation. Without going into too much detail, I'll say that it resdies in the boot block, transfers itself to a known (fixed) memory location, and then replaces a a vector that causes it to be invoked whenever you reset. Regards, Larry.
