One of our users here at Eastern Illinois has discovered the Hong Kong
virus on the distribution disks included with Micro Tough's TVGA
board.  This board is a MS-Windows enhancer Trident chip graphics
board.  The disk are labeled TVGA-8916 (disks one - three).

All three of the notchless disks had the virus.  As the disks were the
notchless type, the virus came from either the factory or the
duplicating company.  Micro Tough has been notified.

Norton Anti-Virus 1.00 did NOT find the virus, but Central Point
Anti-Virus 1.00 found and purged the virus.

To say the least, our user was most discerned with his factory-bought
virus.  ;-)

This has been a warning . . .
