[comp.virus] Extremely virulent virus problem

clayson@gandalf.Colorado.EDU (Carol anne Clayson) (08/10/90)

We're having a problem with an extremely virulent virus.  Aside from
infecting programs, it seems to store itself in parameter ram as well,
so soley reformatting the hard drive doesn't kill it.  It seems to
lock up Windows, Harvard Graphics, and several other graphics based
programs.  We've managed to get it off of our machine, but we're not
sure what floppies have been infected and what ones have not.  We're
looking for a virus checking program that would recognize and remove
this virus.  Does one exist and if so, where can we get it?

Please reply by email (clayson@gandalf.Colorado.EDU) as I do not
read this newsgroup.

Thank you very much.
