Hi David.
The hard drive had it and I did nothing that would have cleared
it. It subsequently got to an additional drive I installed
temporarily and another that now resides in the system is also
affected as well as a zip disk. The 2 floppies I used are
infected but reformatting them clears that.
I suppose that sys C: from a floppy would clear it as well.
I have a W98SE system that I can download the Multi_AV to in
order to get the C:\AV-CLS tree of data for the Flash Drive.
If I take your meaning, I boot from the floppy and run the .bat
file I copied to the hard drive while under the floppys dos
system.
Correct??
