It wasn't a joke. The virus has be out for about 5 years. I can't think
of the name right now. But what it does is that it makes the, I guess
you can call them needles, things that write to the disk. It makes them
dig into the surface of the disk. Someone tried to give this virus to me
but I noticed the file that the person gave me was bigger than it was
suppose to be..... I in turn used a hex editor to love at the program
and I saw the coding for the virus. I am not sure if McAfee has a
cleaner for this virus. I know that there is a cleaner for it, but no
idea who makes it.
