I got home, switched on my beloved computer to get a little requester appear
halfway through my startup-sequence informing me that there had been a
"software failure".  "Gee", I wondered, "I haven't seen one of these for a
while." So I reboot and get the same thing.

	The beeds of sweat start to form over my brows.  I remembered that I 
had decided about 2 weeks ago to stop running VirusX4.0.  Bad move.  After
a few cut-the-startup-sequence-short-and-try-to-gain-control, the stupid
requester kept reappearing anyhow after a certain (short) time.      

	Then I saw it.  I think the guys that write these things should be
hung by their testicals.  Better yet, give them a c64 or an ST to play with.

	It said something like: " ... and the cure is..." on a full-black
screen.  It's one of those that attach themselves to executables.  Now I 
have to get my hands on KV from an ftp site.  It's a good thing that it happenedat my home and not in the lab at school ( we have 13 Amigas, various flavors).

	Moral: Get Steve Tibbet's VirusX4.0. Have it running all the time.

	Have a merry Xmas everyone...

PS: Any info on this virus would be appreciated. I'd especially like the
       author's name!!!
