The virus reported by Chris Fischer is clearly the DOS62 virus. This virus will replace the firts five bytes of every eighth infected file with the system initialization routine. Clearly, COMMAND.COM was the eighth file infected within his system - hence at power-on the system will continuously cycle through the re-boot sequence. We have had numerous reports of similar synptoms from this virus. Alan Roberts HomeBase/CVIA 408 988 4004
