What test is this? How can I test my PC? Is there a web site with a
non-destructive version of the virus that I can visit?


I've posted the file at alt.binaries.schematics.electronics


Oh, well. I don't download files from newsgroups. It seems that's one
of the best places to get viruses.

I tried Opera when it was new, and probably still unfinished. I don't
like to install stuff haphazardly since uninstallations are rarely
complete, and I don't have a test machine set aside that I can
re-install from scratch any time. So, no thanks, I'll take my chances
and stick with Netscape.

I rarely go to web sites that don't have a pretty good pedigree, so
unless some place that I visit regularly (typically for an on-line
forum, or an audio equipment manufacturer) gets infected without their
knowledge, probably by hacker infiltration, I'm reasonable safe. The
only time I ever get e-mail with files atttached that don't come from
someone that I know and that I'm expecting is through my Yahoo mail
account, and that's pretty well protected. Besides, I almost never open
those messges anyway.
