Today, 4:00pm Central Standard Time, my computer caught a virus
and destroyed 10 megs of data and 3 floppy disks.

Festering Hate as it is called is deteticble as follows:

When you run prodos, it will search your disk drives for victim floppies
and infect them.

Look out for odd access times to storage devices and delays in disk
access.

If anyone has information about this or other apple ii viruses
please let me know...

I lost TONS of important information and am pretty upset...

Any help appreciated.
