[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] CLEAN fails to remove virus. Help please.

Hi

	I have an XT clone which had its hard disc boot sector infected with
both the ping pong and ping pong-b virus. Clean was able to detect both viruses
and reported successfully removing both. However upon rescanning the drive
with scan66 the ping pong-b virus was still present.

	We are running MSDOS 3.3 and boot off a clean disc before scanning and
attempting to clean the hard disc.

	Any suggestions apart from backing up the entire disc and reformatting.

	Has anybody else had this problem?

		Thankyou
