[comp.virus] Stoned Again!!

I was doing some quick work for my mom last night when SUBST said
Error in EXE file.  The last time I saw this was during that fun
little Stoned incident.  So I pulled out SCAN and sure enough, the
sucker was back.  It turns out that it was on my mom's Professional
Write disk.  So I think I know where I got it originally now.  This
time I think I got away with no data damage because I found Stoned
quickly and ran SCAN, Norton Disk Doctor, and *then* CHKDSK.  I think
it was a mistake last time to run CHKDSK first because the FAT was
screwed up.  By letting NDD take care of it first, I didn't have any
lost clusters.
