I have a question about the Joshi virus (yes, yesterday was January 5th).

Does Joshi trap attempts at warm reboots?  There was an intermittent
problem with a new program on a computer that turned out
to be infected with Joshi.  The problem was sporadic enough that I
can't be certain that getting rid of Joshi eliminated it, but if
Joshi was trapping Alt-Ctrl-Del, then that would explain the "bug".

I checked the info in F-Prot, and it wasn't that specific, and I'm
not sure where else to check (my impression from reading this group
is that there aren't many reliable sources for descriptions of
specific viruses).  Thanks.
