I got them together with a NEW TB-Monterey Card.

I don't think that anybody used the disks before me. It's a NEW card
(I hope).

I didn't even remove the write-protection and I'm always protecting
disks containing original software. (Some of my principles)

I was quite sure that the virus is from TB. Can't be so now.
So I haven't a clue where I've got the virus and how it came onto the
TB disks.
Sorry for alarming you, I just wanted to prevent harm.

Thanks for your answers.
Bye, Werner.
