Anyone remember the stoned virus ? That is the only one I ever got, always nice to boot your computer and have it come back 'Your computer is now stoned..." :)

Good one, RogueSpy...appreciate the info!
Any time guys. Just glad you enjoyed it.
thanks for the info - much appreciated.. :)
My first computer virus problem was actually off the Microsoft update website..... I got the Stillman virus from them and while trying to fix things (new computer at the time with no AV proggie) I crashed it all....
Good post.......
BTW, is there a new virus out that creates a new partition to hide in so even if you format or even fdisk, windows won't pick it up? I have been having a few (4 thus far) PC's come to me from clients that have some strange formated partition on it and an obvious virus that deletes .ini files and replecates them in the recycle bin.... It doesn't show up on any AV site or with any AV software I have. Any ideas? Anyone else had this problem lately?
