I've encountered what seems to be a new variant of stoned (according to a guy who works in the computer center here) on my diskettes when I use them in our computer labs occassionally. Norton Anti-Virus sees as it as my boot sector being infected by Bloomington, while f-prot says I have stoned. According to f-prot's files in viruses, Bloomington is a cousin to stoned. The guy I spoke to is sending my diskette to the author of f-prot. It's quite annoying; it creates invisible junk files on my diskettes. I'll get a file name on there with portions of garbage characters and some partial words like "DOS 5.0" or other words. Just recently it destroyed a bunch of files that thankfully I couldn't find again, though it was a major pain.
