Hi all,
 
Hi there.  I'm an ST user who has had his share of viruses.  I must
say, I am glad for things like Virus Killer 2.2.  To get back to the
point though, I have heard of things called antibodies, that sit in
your boot sector and do something like flash the screen .  The idea
being that if a virus hits and writes over the antibody, you will
notice the screen not flashing.  Is there currently a program to
install something like this out?  What would be nice is a formatter
that has this as an option.  What would be nicer is if the makers of
DCFORMAT would add this as an option...
