One of our users here at Eastern Illinois has discovered the Hong Kong virus on the distribution disks included with Micro Tough's TVGA board. This board is a MS-Windows enhancer Trident chip graphics board. The disk are labeled TVGA-8916 (disks one - three). All three of the notchless disks had the virus. As the disks were the notchless type, the virus came from either the factory or the duplicating company. Micro Tough has been notified. Norton Anti-Virus 1.00 did NOT find the virus, but Central Point Anti-Virus 1.00 found and purged the virus. To say the least, our user was most discerned with his factory-bought virus. ;-) This has been a warning . . . Frank E. Doss Academic Computing Eastern Illinois University
