My PC has just been infected by an unknown virus (both McAfee Scan Version 97 and CPAV failed to identify it/them). SCAN only report that all of the hard disk boot sectors have been modified (as compared to a CRC file created before the infection). I have both MS-DOS 5.00 and OS/2 (with the latest CSD) installed with DOS on FAT and OS/2 on HPFS. I just got the following message while trying to run MS-WORD for Windows 2.00a under OS/2: ####### Start message ################# The system detected an internal processing error at location ##0160:fff6459e - 000d:959e. 60000, 9084 048600b4 Internal revision 6.466, 92/10/15 The system is stopped. Record the location number of the error and contact your service representative. ########## End of message ############### I got this identical message when I try to run W4W 2.00a twice. Can this be caused by a virus? Note that W4W was running happily for the last 2 days after installing the latest CSD except for minor screen repaint problems (I have only been editing files and have not tried anything else like printing etc). - -- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ >Wey Jing Ho Tel: 61-3-573-2567 E-mail : sci240s@monu6.cc.monash.edu.au< >Physics Dept., Monash University ( Caulfield Campus ), Melbourne, AUSTRALIA< ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
