Recently, some of my friends and I are having trouble with files that are
written/read back to and from disk. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes the
files are causing 'read/write errors'. When you examine the sectors, they
are OK.

The word on the street is that a linker virus is going around, attaching itself
to files, within files, etc. All the viruses I know are bootblock based, and I
do not think the virus will display a message, so it will be hard to detect.

If you know more about this, or know a byte-sequence to look for, please post
it!

Thanks in advance.
