Although Dark Avenger is not a virus that can be frequently seen in the U.S., I
can tell you that it is often found in pirateware in Greece. As a SysOp of one
of the major BBS's in Athens, I have seen it in at least three different
uploaded files (by different people of course, none of who knew they had it).

It was also found in pre-formatted and pre-loaded hard disks that a computer
store in Athens sold with their computers, before they realized that they had a
virus in their computer.
