I believe I have picked up a virus on my 3000, and it seems to be on
my hard disk.
Is there any program that can clear the HD of viruses (I used virusX
3.1 to clear several disks of the sca virus, but it seems to ignore
the HD.\
thanks

I would like a description of how the virus act, 'cause I think I've got one too, on my 2000. Here is a summarize of the symptoms: - The HD works fine for a couple of days after a new FORMAT. - Suddenly with NO warning the machine seem to lock it self up. - The LED is lit, and the exec seems screwed. - I can write text on the screen, but there is no reaction. (The program is probably waiting for a message it never gets). - When I try to boot, the sequence never get farther than to the scsi.device. It doesnt even boot from the floppy-disk, or the RAD: - I then have to make several warnstart after each other to get past the locked position, eventual it will happen after a while.... I'm not sure though, that it's a virus...It might also be a fault in the controller... Klavs Pedersen
