It seems nobody knows anything about it, since I haven't got any answer, so anybody out there has any idea !! Last week, I downloaded "CLEAN UP" from Simtel, which claims to cure many strains including Yankee Doodle, But the only thing it manages to do is to offer deleting the infected file. I don't want to be rude, but what's wrong with the good old DOS ">DEL file.ext" ?. Why to bother writing code to do what DOS can do. O.
