Does anyone know what this is?  Last night, while using SUM's Tune-up
option to clean up my HD, a dialog box popped up from GateKeeper Aid
saying "Gatekeeper Aid has found and removed the Implied Loader 'Pack'
virus from the PIC file on the Games Disk".  (Games disk being one of
my partitions).  When I clicked ok in the dialog box, the dialog
immediately reappeared with the same message.  It took about 30 clicks
in the ok box for the dialog to go away (reappearing everytime).  On
top of all that, there is no file called PIC on my HD.

Any clues?  It said it removed it, so I'm not worried, but I haven't
heard of this "virus".  If one of you virus-basher guys need to check
this virus out, I can rummage through my backup (which I had just done
before) to try and find it.
