[comp.virus] Stoned on widely distributed disk

UMEEM37@VAXA.CC.IMPERIAL.AC.UK (Olivier M.J. Crepin-Leblond) (12/14/90)

WARNING: Stoned virus found on demo disk included "WHAT PERSONAL
COMPUTER" (United Kingdom) issue 18, Jan 1991.

The demo disk is called Mega-Disk, and contains a working demo version
of Domark's MIG-29 Fulcrum. I am not sure that the disk was actually
infected from the factory, but I suspect it since 2 machines on which
the disk was run were actually infected, and the disk was found to be
infected as well.

I would therefore suggest that any buyer of WHAT PERSONAL COMPUTER
magazine checks for viruses on the disk, even though the disk is
certified by the magazine as being VIRUS-FREE.
