This is the virus whose message is Your PC is Stoned! It's not so bad, except that it corrupts the Floppys that you write to by moving the boot sector of the disk to say Sector 12 and replacing by it's own boot sector with that message and a statement to Legalize marijuana. If there is someone who knows how to get rid of this virus from my hard disk without reformating I will be really grateful. Thanks so much. Nope, haven't heard of it. I'd be psyched to get a copy to tear into though....:-) J. Allard 34 Buswell Apt 29 Boston, MA 02215
