John you do remember whom you talking to right? Are you saying to read all
the different strains that can come from the origianl virus because it
mutates for want of a better word. Does this mean scaning for each strain or
mutation? And how do I make sure my floppies are ok? How do I check them?
And I've scanned with my AVG house calls trend symantec they all say I'm
virus free. Any other suggestions? Going to look at Zdnet right now. Yawn!
Not for long 6 hours of service and a new study in am. Man I hate viruses.
