[comp.virus] MDISK - Boot virus removing program

MCGDRKG@CMS.MANCHESTER-COMPUTING-CENTRE.AC.UK (12/01/89)

Has anyone used this package? I have tried it to remove Stoned virus
from the partition table of a hard disk and it seems to work ok.
However when I tried to remove the same virus from the boot sector of
a floppy I keep getting an Abort error message - not able to continue
(from the program).  As the documentation on this package is rather
scarce I would appreciate any advice or comment( I have followed the
procedure as given in the documentation several times to make sure I
did it right!).  Our DOS is version 3.3 and I used the MD33 F command
to disenfect floppies.
