Hi,
A few weeks ago, I asked about info and disinfector for the Yankee doodle
virus on a PC. It seems nobody knows anything about it, since I haven't
got any answer, so anybody out there has any idea !!
Last week, I downloaded "CLEAN UP" from Simtel, which claims to cure many
strains including Yankee Doodle, But the only thing it manages to do is
to offer deleting the infected file. I don't want to be rude, but what's
wrong with the good old DOS ">DEL file.ext" ?. Why to bother writing code
to do what DOS can do.

O. FADEL
