I may have a problem with a virus but can't identify it. The affected file is a compression utility - when I run it the computer just hangs and beeps at me, when I run the file after loading SCANRES the computer just hangs. I have another copy, both are the same size but DOS COMP gives 10+ differences. I've scanned the memory and the file with SCAN 3.0V58 and F-SYSCHK 1.7 but neither shows anything. Does this sound like a virus, the file has been moved to a floppy and overwritten on the hard disk. It's probably not a virus but the fact that the sizes are the same has made me abit vary. Thanks in advance, Andy Packham.
