Message-ID: <10081@ufcsv.cis.ufl.EDU> Date: 8 Jan 88 13:11:04 GMT Sender: news@ufcsv.cis.ufl.EDU Reply-To: soo@beach.cis.ufl.edu (Chong L Soo) Organization: UF CIS Department Lines: 12 Say, what are the differences between the two strains of SCA virus? I was wondering, since the SCA virus is harmless (sort of), if we let it hang around, wouldn't that stop any future versions of (perhaps harmful) virus that uses the boot block also? I mean, the good (sort of) virus would have the control of the computer on reboot if it got there before the bad virus.
