     Hello people,

     Last weekend I initialized my system with a friend's bootable disk to see
some improvments he did in his startup-sequence. After, I reseted my system and
initialized with my workbench, who have the program Virus_checker5.12 instaled.
Imediately it found a Byte Bandit in memory !! The program disabled the virus
and after I removed it from my friend's disk.
     I want to know what IS the Byte Bandit, and what it does.The virus_checker
docs only list all known viruses, but not what it does. How can I get a detailed
 description of the virus damages (maybe in the docs of other antivirus program?
). This was the first virus I ever found, and I am a little scared.

    Thanks in advance
