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.
