Greetings fellow Amigans. I recently received a diskette from a friend (only freely distributable stuff, I add hurriedly, before the piracy accusations flow in :-) and the following happened to me. I have VirusX 3.1 loading at bootup, and I can right-click on the window and have it give me the cute table of all the viruses that it hasn't yet found. Then I insert the newly acquired diskette into df1:, the drive whirrs for a loooong time, and I can continue as normal. VirusX puts up nary a scream. BUT: right-clicking on the VirusX window now brings up a BLANK window in place of a virus "wanted" list. Only the one diskette causes this behaviour, so I have to suspect the worst. (But I practice pretty safe hex, so I'm not too worried. Keep those little tabs from blocking the light!) So here I am, nearing the end of the story, and I don't have Steve Tibbet's address anywhere (not anywhere I can find it, anyway :-), and naturally, I would like to send him this diskette, you see.... Help from the net.wisdom would be greatly appreciated here. Thanks in advance, Mark. -- ####################################################################### ## Mark S.
