A friend of my got viruses. I use scan v77 to check it found the partition table was infected by sotned and the file C:\DOS\KILL\VIRUS.EXE was infected by jerusalem. I also use Virx 1.14 to check the C drive, the only hard drive she has, and find stoned-b. But I could not find the file VIRUS.EXE exist. The kill subdir only has four files and neither is VIRUS.EXE. Does any one know what happened ? could it be a hidded file or Scan gave the fault alarm ? But the Clean did doing very well when cleaned those viruses. I cleaned the hard disk before I thinking about this question!
