I dont know if this is the same virus or not? But I wasnt going to take
any chances, later copying another old disk I got a CMOS Virsu detected
by Thunderbyte & Norton & had Thunderbyte Delete it. Its unusal to get
a Virus from a BBS as most have there own Thd-Pro Scan to catch anything
The ones I had were on Disks from friends which is the easiest way to catch
one.
