First I would like to make my excuse for not giving enough information in my last (and first in my career) message to usenet. I asked some information about the Ghost Virus on the Atari ST, well I forgot to mention the computersystem and the kind of information I requested Well here goes all or nothing : Since a few months I'm being bugged by a virus that inverses the mousepointer. So after I figured that it could be a virus, I pulled out my trusty Viruskiller (VDU - Virus Destruction Utility V1.4) and became aware of this "Ghost Virus". After wiping the virus from all my disks I thought I would be save, but none could be more true. This virus returned every time. Maybe it is a link-virus that somehow manages to copy itself into the bootsector so that it can begin it's faul work again. But the VDU doesn't reconize any link-virus on any of my disks, so my question to all of you is : Is there some way to get rid of this virus without formatting all my disks ??
