The Ping Pong (Italian) is a boot infector and can be removed with McAfee's MDISK programs. The CVIA is distributing these programs free of charge (with proof of infection) to anyone infected with a boot or partition table virus. They've been tested against all the viruses we know about and work flawlessly against all boot and partition table viruses. Contact the CVIA at 408 727 4559 or page SysOp on HomeBase at 408 988 4004 to get these programs. Alan Roberts.
