Thanks for this Henry. "Listeners" out there might want to make a note of
the name of the experts, McAfee, as mentioned the other day by John Walker,
for all virus problmes:

"you should periodically scan the system itself for viri and always scan
any program you download immediately. One of the best programs I have
found for this is Mcafee's Virus Scan. This is a shareware program and can
be obtained on the Web at:

 F F67%ard

There are two versions of the file for DOS:  scn-251e.zip 452,098
VirusScan for DOS, Version 2.5.1 with (9607) .DAT file
                        - User installed scni251e.zip 692,731 VirusScan
for DOS, Version 2.5.1 with (9607) .DAT file
                        - Self Installed These are also available by
anonymous FTP at ftp.mcafee.com in the /pub/antivirus/ directory.

PLEASE NOTE: scan is updated and should be downloaded at least once every
three months and re-installed. There are versions available for the Mac,
OS2, Unix Etc.  You will require Pkunzip to uncompress these files. This
is available anywhere on the net. You might want to try >disks.  Also,
make sure you have the newest version of 'scan' which is >usually
available to download from the web."
