Somebody here at work, mentioned that they got stuck with the 'LamerII' virus.
Can anybody fill me in on what it is? He said it apparently corrupted disk 
copying, which I almost never do. Also it seems like somebody mentioned some
virus dealing with disk validating. Is this related? Although I haven't 
noticed any problem, I noticed a file in my 'dh0:c' called diskverify, with a
file date of 26-JAN-100. I'm not sure where the file came from because I 
didn't find it on WBv1.3.2, but I'm guessing it's from Cltd (Now doing business
as *Nobody*!) because I have an autobooting KRONOS-2000. Is this date something
to worry about? If it means anything the file size of 'diskverify' is about 
4791 bytes, if I remember correctly.
				      Thanks for any info.
