I recently tried running BallyIII off of one of my  game disks but got
a disk validation error after inserting it.  Diskdoctor found track 40
to be corrupt but was able to recover everything.  Then I noticed that
the name  of the  disk    was changed  to  "Lazarus"  (it used  to  be
"MoreGames").  No one else uses  my computer and I  know of no program
that would change the  name of a disk to  that.   Could this be  a new
virus?  The fact that only track 40 was  corrupt (smack in the middle)
only adds to   my suspicion.   By the  way,  VirusX  4.0 noted nothing
strange (I always run it since I got hit by Lamer II last summer).
