Does anyone know what or how the North Star virus works.  I just added
1 Meg extra memory to my A1000 and was playing around with old disks
that needed more than 512K.  I did a warm boot with workbench which
also has virusX on it and it found the North Star virus.  I removed
the virus off of several disks including my working copy of workbench.
Nothing seems to have gotten damaged.  This is the first virus I have
come across and just wanted some info on viruses.
