 JS> Hate to say it Ray but there's no way a virus can do that to
 JS> your floppy drive. Maybe you already had a hardware fault,
 JS> but a virus depending on that is a pretty lame virus, after
 JS> all, how many FDD's that you know of are stuffed in this way,
 JS> without being so stuffed they have quit working.
Sorry, I didn't know:( it's just a mag I read. It told me it's possible for
virus to come back to life, I guess they were lying to me. sorry for making 
such
follish mistake. Please forgive me.
 JS> No, it isn't.  You can not make a virus come back to life.
 JS> Period.  If, as you say, the clean boot disk was infected,
 JS> then again I say you never got rid of the virus, you just
 JS> thought you had.  And no, you can absolutely not e-mail bomb
 JS> ansi code.  You can make a bat file trojan that does, but
 JS> that depends on stupid users that allow this to happen.  And
 JS> has nothing to do with someone writing you a message.
But I've hear there is something cal marco virus which is aword document 
virus.
How could a document be a virus and not an ansi file:( I just don't 
nderstand
