I think I have that virus.  My harddrive from the sidecar is messed up because of that virus.  Does anybody know how to kill it.  

Also does anybody have problems using the second drive.  I have been getting
Read/Write errors during downloads and while using Scribble!.  I can't do
anything except warm reboot to get the computer functioning again since the 
CANCEL or RETRY requesters keeps on coming.  I only get read/write errors
sometimes, but I get it often enough.
