Remember several months ago I told you I managed to boot with an ANTIEXE 
infected floppy in the drive?  Well, the problem was easily fixed, and I 
isolated the source as a disk I got from a co-worker.  So, I returned it to 
him with a copy of F-Prot and instructions on how to clean his home system 
and floppies, which he did.
This morning at work the network was incredibly slow for some users, and 
while Keith was waiting for his system to connect I casually threw in "It's 
obvious.  You have a virus".  Big chuckle.
After lunch I walked into his cubicle, and there he was, staring at a bright 
red warning from VShield "The floppy in Drive A: is infected with ANTIEXE".
Yup.  Guess he didn't "get 'em all" a few months ago. :-)
Now he's got to get ahold of the three people he gave disks to and make sure 
_they're_ not infected, too...
Anyway, I _can't_ convince him that the comment I made in the morning had 
nothing at all to do (except sheer coincidence) with what happened in the 
afternoon. :-)
So here I am, putting together four more floppies with F-Prot on them, for 
distribution tomorrow....
