Vsum still says no utility will remove joshi and that low level format is required f-prot says "Cured" whne I use it gainst Joshi, but it still says infected after that, and the hard disk is no longer bootable. v 1.15a. those who know say ll-format NEVER needed. I do not know how to manually rebuild partition table so I have done three of these so far. Is their a utility Ms Hoffman? perhaps yuou just don't want to admit it because McAffe's can't? (i have not tried McAffee but I assume she'd say if his did.) f-prot must be intended to work - "cured" - so can the author speak to this? Thanks for any advice from any source - -- _____________________________________________________________________________ | That's my story, and I'm sticking to it! | |_____________________________________________________________________________| | Public Sites micro software support | treeves@magnus.ACS.OHIO-STATE.EDU |

Virex-PC has been able to cure Joshi for quite a while (> six months, at least). > Is their a utility Ms Hoffman? perhaps yuou just don't want to >admit it because McAffe's can't?
