Eric ‚crivait … All, dans: Virii (I think), ce mois #12-16-97:
EA> Hi ALL , hope you are having a nice day
  Hi ONE !  ...day and night...
EA> ... He  "collects virii." Have any of you ever heard ...? 
EA> Anyone ever thought about why one might do this?
EA> go figure...Anyways, straying off the topic. Anyone else do this?
  I do !!  Why ??? To test my antiviruse programs !
  And, with a friend, we did this: ( He has 3 hard disks, 2 active
 the 3rd one is in a drawer...)
  He disconnected his active/real 2 hard disks,  he took the 3rd one
out of the desk, installed it, and we PLAYed a lot and where laughing
like creasy, because of what the virsus did to us, or disk, or files !!
  One of them DELETES EVERY program you run; and you are not used to
a ONE time use !!!  So you try UNDELETE and  bye !!!! It's gone.
  We tried that DELETING virus on a protected diskette, and the normal
DOS answer was appearing on screen, because of the locked diskette...
We have tried the famous hard disk  FDISK /MBR...  It works.
 If I remember well, I was at his place around 1:00 PM, and we
experimented till 2:00 AM  !!!!!
  So that's why WE collect viruses: to practice, and be ready when
one hits our REAL hard drives...
  It's very fun, to try them on a drive not normaly used...
 you'r not affraid to do/try ANYTHING !!!!
  At work, my installed VIRSTOP ( from F_PROT )
catched the  ?????.STONED.MONKEY.B  virus !!! ...
 ... and I keeped it... to show to my friend...
  So... we allways are at risk !!
 Keep scanning, or BEGIN NOW !!  8-)  And read a lot on them...
 you will know what to do when it happens...
