HEAVENS, NO !!! If you have deleted a virus (and of course cleaned it
out of memory if TSR), how do you think it could get active again ?
For this it would to have be active before beeing active ! By the way
do you know how viri spread ? Normally they attach to files. So if it
was possible for a virus to reactivate itself after you have deleted
the file it was in it would have to know which file it was. Undeleting
this file would be very suspicious, don't you agree ? By the way this
file specifitie would be very uncommon for viri.
