In regards to the already-resident-virus problem(disinfecting), I follow a fairly easy procedure... Do a low-level format of a new disk.. Take your original(Write-protected, of course) dos and sys the disk.. add command.com and your favorite virus scanner.. This is something that you should do BEFORE you are infected... You have to be sure that your scanner is clean.. Now write protect the disk and tuck it away somewhere.. If you think you're infected, shut down and boot from your floppy.. Now you have no resident virus's.. I don't trust mem-res scanners, myself.. Dave Hoelzer @sunyB.. CONSP12@bingvaxa
