Very silly from the part of NAV, since Brain does not infect hard
disks...

Exactly.

Hmm... Are you using some other anti-virus software, by (mal)chance?

Huh??? How can you achieve that?? As far as I know, the "year zero" in
MS-DOS is 1980 and you just cannot have a date before that... Speaking
about that, -how- do you know that the years have been in the 20th
century? The DIR command displays only the last two digits of the
year... Are you sure that the dates have not been from 2055 to 2065?
