This is a Hungarian boot sector virus that is not spread at all, so I sincerely doubt that it has made it to Canada... It is much more probable that you are using some other anti-virus software, like CPAV or TNTVIRUS, that does not encrypt its scan strings and is causing a false positive. If you are using CPAV, read the manual - it clearly says that it is not compatible with any other anti-virus software. So, throw away either CPAV or SCAN. If I were you, I would throw away CPAV...
