I've been having some "software failures" lately at random times.. I assumed
that the problem was something to do with the PAL's not having the grounding
mod (but the system has been working for 3 years flawlessly!).. Also, I read a
message from Joanne Dow that said she replaced the CPU with a CMOS version
(68HC000P8) and that helped out.. So, I installed my NEW 68k processor and
that was when things started doing wierd things!  Anyway, I later found that
my system was infected with the above mentioned virus and I was wondering if
this is a virus that "attaches" itself to programs and is executed everytime a
program is run??

I checked all of my disks that I've used recently and found that of 30 disks
tested, it had infected 9 of those and there was a 10th virus that was unknown
to the latest version of VirusX that was on comp.amiga.binaries... Hmm..

If anyone knows anything about this particular virus and what it "likes" to do
once it has infected a system, I would appreciate a reply to this message!

Thanks in advance..
