]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.
]
	You're VERY wrong. I just got screwed over by a virus. How? I
got fish disk#63, and a modified MicroEmacs 3.8i. We used my friends
boot disk, and I was showing him some source code to one of my
programs on MY boot disk. I just lost 3 weeks worth of work to a 
virus, and I wasn't pirating ANYTHING. 

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

	No, PLEASE distribute it. There are a LOT of innocent victims
of these rotten things.
