Several people have asked whether the files on cica and other Windows
archives have been virus checked.  I'm wondering if there are any known
viruses which work in Windows at all.

It seems to me that tradition MS-DOS viruses would fail to correctly
modify Windows programs.  Does anyone know of a Windows program ever
being virus-infected?
