Okay:
(1) Re-Boot your system with no disk in the disk drive.
(2) When you get to GEM, format a disk. Use this to boot from now
on.
(3) Call a BBS, or download from atari.archives, a Virus Killer.
Use the program on all of your disks.
When you have cleaned all of your disks using a Virus Killer, then you
will not need to use the boot disk from step to. You can go back to
doing things the way you did before the Virus. Also, if you find out how
you got the Virus, please let us know.
Note: The Atari Virus Killer 4.00GB detects Link Virus programs, which
are Virus' that get executed when you run certain files you download.
So, try to get the Atari Virus Killer.
