Mock) Organization: U.C. Davis - Dept of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Lines: 13 Apparently the Star Fighter II virus has been floating around lately as well. I don't know much about it, other than the fact that Photonix will identify it when copying disks. I'm assuming it's a boot-block type virus. Anyway, I know a couple of people who are convinced they have it, and claim it does weird crashes of their computer and writes junk into their folders and hard drives. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "When you make your mark in the world, watch out for guys with erasers." - Wall Street Journal.
