It probably did, judging from your description.  McAffe can kill Stoned
in a matter of seconds.

I would bet a lot of money that Target re-wrapped it.  Companies aren't known
for spreading viruses (with the exception of Michaelangelo, but that's
another story).  I'm 95% sure that Target re-wrapped that package.  If he
lost information that was important because of the virus, he could
conceviably hold Target responsible.

Anyway, Stoned is one of the first viruses that I know of.  Any anti-viral
package worth the disk it's on can remove it.
