Well, contrary to other people's reports, I was very definately infected with the Maltese Amoeba virus. Fortunately, I was able to get a friend to load a new system into my comp, plus the fact that I deleted the infected files out of my system before any more damage could be done. Well here's the damage. My DOS files are gone. Totally scrambled. Also, as a point of interest, the file I received was pkz204.exe and when uncompressed the files passed the verification checks. Which leads me to believe that the virus I had was shipped in the original. Yep, you know what that means. Well, enough for here. Write back on e-mail to me if you have any question as to whether there is a virus on this file. =============================================================================== Jeffrey Imes "It's really tragic how a family can get torn CIS Undergraduate Student apart by something as simple as wild dogs." imes@cis.ohio-state.edu -- Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
