Hi. I don't have much familiarity with viruses, but: A good friend has been working for a few months on some IBM PC's. In the last several weeks, all her programs were screwing up. We ran her stuff and noticed that each time an executable was ran, it's size increased by 1808 bytes. This included some system files such as 'SORT'. She had been using a bunch of disks, including some disks from Israel. So far, it just seems that it was loading up the disks. Anyway, if anyone has any information about this virus, we'd be very interested. She proceeded to copy all her source files onto clean, formatted disks. Is that sufficient, assuming she zaps everything else? Thanks, Andrew P. Berman
