The virus is (nearly) absolutely harmless. The only thing it destroys is itself 8-) (i.e. the boot block). If it goes off, don't panic; just replace the boot block. This virus was aimed at copy protected software... I analyzed the whole virus: It's really nothing more than a bad joke. Achim (If someone wants a disassembled listing... call me 8-))) )
