A colleague with an EPson PC running DOS could not boot his machine
this morning but got instead a message that said "Your machine is now
stoned". By searching through past articles in this newsgroup I found
reference to the "Stoned virus". The name suggests that this is what
my friend has. I am not an IBM PC expert, so am not familiar with the
viruses in the PC world. I would be most grateful if someone could
email me information about whether this is indeed the virus we have
and, if so, how to eradicate it and how to test other machines for the
virus.
Any suggestions on appropriate software to use would also be
appreciated. I will try to access the archives at SIMTEL and see
what software I can find there.
Thank you very much.
