One of my leaf sites (news/mail) recently lost their data to FILLED -
the machine that went down (FAT out to lunch) was repaired by
reformatting the disk (high level, w/MS-DOS 5.0) and re-installing the
software.

When SCANV was run, it warned of FILLED three times, after the format
- - local rumour has it FILLED resides on an area of the disk DOS
doesn't read - at any rate, after three warnings, the system was shut
down.

I installed the latest versions of SCANV and CLEAN onto the system
today, and ran both from a write-protected floppy. No warning
appeared, and clean aborted with nothing to do. I did not try the
older version of SCANV again.

Is it gone? Is there a difference in the latest flavour of SCANV's
approach to FILLED that might cause a miss? FILLED is listed as a
stealth-type in the McAfee doc's, and I'd like to know more about that
as well - enough, at any rate, to be comfortable in thinking the
infection is gone.

If someone can point me towards an ftp site where I can find some
information re FILLED, I'd appreciate it, or it could be mailed to me
privately if it's 'old hat' - if not, here's fine :-)
