JC>        Has anyone heard of a virus called anti-exe  ????  My mothers
JC>work was hit by this virus along with 2 others, but this one is
JC>unkown to me.  Any information about this virus will be greatly
JC>appricated (sp?).
We got hit with that one at work too. Very prolific virus, although it
doesn't really do any damage. It's a simple stealthed boot-sector
infector. Basically, once it infects your HD boot-sector, it becomes
resident on every boot, and infects the boot sector of every floppy disk
you use while it's resident. There is a single file (an .EXE, thus the
name) that the virus supposedly attacks, but I haven't seen anyone who
knows what it is.
We picked it up before we had put any antivirus contingencies in place,
and by the time we disocvered it, it had infected 4 out of 6 PC's in the
department, and I found it on over 100 floppy disks.
