When I booted by trusty '286 this morning I got a message that reads something like: "your computer is stoned." My guess :-) is that there is a virus running around in my system (no fever yet). Does anybody have any advice on what to do to cure it?

Does anybody have any advice on what to do to cure it? This is definitely a case of the Stones Virus and can be cured by a program found on simtel20.arpa. I don't have a program to kill the virus currently in my unix account nor have easy access to one. ...dale ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ name: Dale C.
