I'm new to this group, but I thought I'd put the word out so others don't get
their computers infected. I recently bought a I/O - floppy drive controller
card (SUPER MULTI I/O) from Jems Computers in San Jose, California. Along
with it came a floppy with the setup programs for the clock/cal. It turns out
that it was infected with the Jerusalm-B virus. Unfortunately, I didn't find
out until it had infected about 40% of my .EXE and .COM files. I called them
and they said that the disk came with the card from the manufactuer. I would
be VERY careful with any software that comes from there...mind you I'm not
saying not to buy from there (the card and the 1.44M drive I recieved are
excellent) but just check out the software extra carefully. We now return you
to the regularly scheduled programming.

the way.
