This is exactly the sequence of events described sub G3 in the VIRUS-L
FAQ list, which has been posted, recently.

Stoned + Michelangelo (original MBR lost), what else did anybody expect?

I wonder why we saw so diverging responses to this poster. Do the
experts not bother to read the FAQ list? I assure you, reading it is
worth-while!  I do not say so because I am acknowledged in its preface
(my contribution was rather limited), but because knowing what's in
the FAQ list could save many VIRUS-L subscribers -- both novices and
experienced virus busters -- a lot of work, honestly!
