Big hassle? Nah...at school we're told to just delete the normal.dot when
we get the concept virus...
Btw, anyone got any ideas?  I've been thinking of a way to modify the
existing concept virus to kind of counterract it, by killing it somehow.
Only problem is the virus has to kill itself, or it's just as bad as the
concept one isn't it?
