It is called COMPUTER OGRE. The virus attaches itself to the boot track and makes a few new bad blocks to put the bulk of its code into. Because it operates at such a low level it is hard to detect. The only known way to find it, is to use something like Norton Utilities to look for the string COMPUTER OGRE on your disk. Has anyone else heard of or seen this one? -- Let sleeping dragons lie........ | The Bit Chaser ---------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Wilson (Bitnet: ucc2wew@nauvm | wilson@nauvax) Northern AZ Univ Flagstaff, AZ 86011
