- I've encountered what seems to be a new variant of stoned (according
- to a guy who works in the computer center here) on my diskettes when I
- use them in our computer labs occassionally. Norton Anti-Virus sees
- as it as my boot sector being infected by Bloomington, while f-prot
- says I have stoned. According to f-prot's files in viruses,
- Bloomington is a cousin to stoned.
-
- The guy I spoke to is sending my diskette to the author of f-prot.
- It's quite annoying; it creates invisible junk files on my diskettes.
- I'll get a file name on there with portions of garbage characters and
- some partial words like "DOS 5.0" or other words. Just recently it
- destroyed a bunch of files that thankfully I couldn't find again,
- though it was a major pain.
