How does one kill the stoned virus when it resides in the partition table of a hard drive. Does McAfee's clean kill it? I've had no trouble killing in boot sectors with f-disinf but it won't get it in the PT. Thanks in advance! =-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-- = Kenneth J.

I have had no trouble with F-DISINF from version 1.11 on, although a recent posting did point out a potential problem with OEM MS-DOS which has been fixed in 1.14. ============= Vancouver p1@arkham.wimsey.bc.ca | "Is it plugged in?"
