IIRC, F-Prot removed this virus from my system recently, with no
problems.
Got the virus from a disk borrowed from a public library, that I
accidentally booted from (ie I hadn't checked the disk - it didn't have
any executables on it - and I forgot to remove the disk before switching
on the PC the next day)
Somebody had deliberately infected the floppy, then write protected it.
I think there is a lesson in that for all of us - certainly was for me!
cheers
