	Well, again!!!
FLAME ON
 I'm beginning to get tired with all this fuss about Viruses.
 The point is:
	1- You may be contaminated only by a bootable disk
	2- Commercial software are not contaminated when sealed under
		the original package...
	3- PD disks are generally not bootable, and the official ones are
		healthy.
I think I will leave the conclusion to your bright minds.
FLAME OFF
	
	If you got to the same conclusion that I draw, you will notice
	that indeed the pirates that originally wrote the Virus are 
	helping Software producers by making pirated copies unsafe.

	I wish we could stop this discussion about viruses.
	And finally, to CATS : DON'T DISTRIBUTE this so-called Virus Protector.
