I did read your follow-up, Ben. Do you scan in native DOS regularly?
The reason I ask is because I haven't been doing so, very often, lately
(but I have a bootable CD-RW with DOS versions of VirusScan, F-Prot, and
an older NAV ready to go at the first hint of trouble). Now that I think
of it, I'm really overdue for a good, old-fashioned 'secure scan'. And,
after reading about your recent experience, I should add Native DOS
Update Testing to my regimen. I'd hate to run into a 'surprise', when
trying to repair a compromised system. Thanks again for the very timely
info..
