All I know is that there is a boot sector infector which SCAN calls
like that. Unfortunately, SCAN is very unreliable in identifying
viruses exactly. On the top of that, I am unable to test it on boot
sector viruses, because I don't have them in live form - only as
binary dumps of the infected boot sectors.

So, I have no clue what the "NOP virus" actually is. Could you please
try to run F-Prot 2.06a on an infected diskette and tell me the
results?

Vesselin
