  Hi,

    We've had 3 machines here within the past two weeks when we try and
  boot them come up and say missing or bad command interpreter.  When
  we booted from floppy, we discovered that command.com was indeed
  missing.  The autoexec.bat and config.sys files were also gone from
  the system.

    Does anyone know of any viruses which might cause this and have
  any advice as to how we should proceed ?  I have already run
  the Macafee virus scan program and it doesn't find anything.

    Please respond by email if possible.
