- I downloaded Replex.lzh from the fish/ff791 directory on Merlin
- (amiga.physik mirror). When I ran it, Virus_Checker popped up a
- window telling me it had the "Menem's Revenge" virus. I turned the
- machine off imeediately and deleted the file as soon as it came back up,
- and apparently the Virus_Checker was able to keep is from spreading
- before I deleted it.
-
- I suppose it's possible that the program was mucking around with
- the system in a way that made it _look_ like said virus, but until
- someone in the know checks it out, I'd advise avoiding this file!
