My PC has just been infected by an unknown virus (both McAfee Scan
Version 97 and CPAV failed to identify it/them). SCAN only report that
all of the hard disk boot sectors have been modified (as compared to a
CRC file created before the infection). I have both MS-DOS 5.00 and
OS/2 (with the latest CSD) installed with DOS on FAT and OS/2 on HPFS.

I just got the following message while trying to run MS-WORD for Windows 2.00a
under OS/2:
####### Start message #################
The system detected an internal processing
error at location ##0160:fff6459e - 000d:959e.
60000, 9084

048600b4
Internal revision 6.466, 92/10/15

The system is stopped. Record the location number
of the error and contact your service representative.

########## End of message ###############

I got this identical message when I try to run W4W 2.00a twice.  Can
this be caused by a virus? Note that W4W was running happily for the
last 2 days after installing the latest CSD except for minor screen
repaint problems (I have only been editing files and have not tried
anything else like printing etc).
