two likely possibilities are 1) you're using an incredibly poor virus
checker or 2) your virus checker identified the virus generically and
you mistook the generic type declaration of "stealth virus" as being the
proper name of a specific virus...
now i can only find one instance of a virus checker giving a proper name
of simply "stealth"... it is the name that VET uses when it detects a
stealth.boot.d infection...
