As one of the "mugs" (probably translates as "schmuck" stateside?) who
ran the Desktop Fractal Design System as soon as it arrived, can I ask
any genius out there who works out how to get rid of it to contact me
pronto?

However I have checked the size of my .EXE files against copies on other
machines and I get identical results, plus VIRUS SCAN does not detect
any infection. Could it be that not all the disks were infected, or
only those distributed in the USA?

Rgds,
Iain Noble
