After reading the message here about a possible virus in cursor.zip (The file
 that changes the mouse pointer, from cica) I checked my hard disk with
 Norton Utilities' Speed Disk.  It seems that some program has been allocating
 blocks as unmovable.  Since everything that I run is also being run on my
 friend's pc, except cursor.zip, I believe curse.exe contains a virus.  Can
 anyone else who has run curse.exe check for extra unmovable blocks?  If you
 have definitive proof that curse.exe contains a virus, please e-mail me the
 name of the virus so that I can kill it.

Thanks
