First I would like to make my excuse for not giving enough information
in my last (and first in my career) message to usenet.

I asked some information about the Ghost Virus on the Atari ST, well I
forgot to mention the computersystem and the kind of information I
requested Well here goes all or nothing :

Since a few months I'm being bugged by a virus that inverses the
mousepointer.  So after I figured that it could be a virus, I pulled
out my trusty Viruskiller (VDU - Virus Destruction Utility V1.4) and
became aware of this "Ghost Virus".  After wiping the virus from all
my disks I thought I would be save, but none could be more true. This
virus returned every time.

Maybe it is a link-virus that somehow manages to copy itself into the
bootsector so that it can begin it's faul work again. But the VDU
doesn't reconize any link-virus on any of my disks, so my question to
all of you is :

Is there some way to get rid of this virus without formatting all my
disks ??
