I have (had) caught the LamerII virus from a (Non Pirate!) bbs.
VirusX mentions the Lamer Exterminator virus, which waited a while,
then wrote Lamer! in random parts of disks.  (Very nasty...) 

VirusX(4.0) does detect the LamerII virus, but it doesn't mention
what it does.  Is it the same as the Lamer Exterminator?  Are
they both the same as Lamer's Revenge?  

I seem to have nipped it in the bud, but I would like to know 
what it was trying to do to me.  Also, what interactions does the
cold capture vector on the 2500/30 have with virusX?

thanks,
dylan
