To all virus experts,
One of our systems here at SAKFU00 was infected by the STONED virus.
I remember that I read a note about how to remove this virus from a
hard disk ,but the writer was refering to some issues of COMPUTER
& SECURITY which we were not able to get.
If any of you knows step by step instructions to remove that virus,He
(or she) will be thankfull to send it to me directly or to the list.
