- Well the solution is very easy.
-
- Get VirusX from an FTP site. If you don't have it send me e-mail and I'll get it
- to you.
-
- Or if you don't have disks that have special boot blocks just insert the disk in
- df0: and type install df0: this will overwrite the virus in the bootblock. Do
- this to all your disks.
-
- remember to turn your computer off after you're done.
