One thing that Mr. Doss forgot to mention is that although Central Point Anti-Virus v1.0 can easily romove the Asuza virus from a floppy, it cannot remove the virus from a hard drive. The only way to disinfect a hard drive is to redo the low level format because the virus infects the boot sector and the dos partition. A high level format will not remove the virus, nor will simply removing the dos partition with the fdisk program. Derek Ebdon
