C: might become unbootable, CHKDSK will find lots of lost clusters,
and you'll get lots of cross-linked files.

CLEANP67.ZIP (at Simtel20 in PD1:<MSDOS.TROJAN-PRO> will take care of
Stoned.  You will probably lose some files, especially executables
which can't be reassembled by hand (I certainly did).
