A friend of mine is using the McAfee virus scan program on his computer.  When
he attempts to run the program, however, the program does not run.  As soon as
the line with the phone number comes up, some funny characters come onto the
screen and then the c: prompt reappears.  Whenever he puts a clean disk into
 the computer, the disk, when scanned on another machine, the stoned virus is
on the disk.  Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

Thanks,
