I've been having some problems with some PC's at the college where I teach.
The evidence points to a virus.  Someone from IBM ran a virus scanner on
a couple PC's and got the following message:

Found signature in (master boot record of drive 80) at offset 21 (15H):
1E5080FC02721780FC047312AD2750E33C08ED8A03F04A8017503E80700
A boot record of this disk may be infected with the Stoned virus.

Does "Stoned virus" ring a bell with anyone.  Could someone give me some
backgroud info?  References to past messages will be appreciated also.

                                    Thanx,
                                     jk
