What is the story on "anticmos-a" please.
There is lots of info around about other variants of anticmos, but nothing on
this one.
Unfortunately I think I gave this  virus to a helpless female (or at least 
er
computer).
I am usually carefull, but methinks the virus was hiding in a zip file on a 
disk which had not been accessed for a couple of years.
I have had a few run ins with anticmos-a before, but as far as I know I have
never encountered a problem because of it.
My old laptop came back of loan this week, and I was useing it to rough out a 
newsletter article, and when I puts in a floppy with the WP51 file I was 
working on into my desktop, up comes NAV2 with an "anticmos-a" warning, hence 
my guilt trip re the fems virus problem. 
NAV disposed of the the virus with no damage to the file.
On the laptop I used F-prot 2.5 to do an equally quick and efficient job of 
disposing of the virus. Thunderbyte 7.6 would not run on the laptop, needing 

386 or better.
Anyway the fem had problems accessing drives, so she runs to the computer 
service dept. of a large department store and a week later and three hundred 
bills poorer her ps1 had a clean bill of health. 
Cant help but wonder if she was not ripped off. What do you think?
