 DH> We have four computers in the house... a 486-40 (the BBS machine), a
 DH> 486DX2-66 and two Cyrix 686-166's.  All four had Stealth on them and
Stealth is a category of viruses, not a virus :) Viruses with Stealth try and
hide themselves from AV programs while they're loaded.
 DH> couldn't clean it.  So, a friend brought me a boot disk for, I think,

As someone's said, that's more likely to be because it was a clean boot disk
