ATM 386 laptops with viruses.

[Joe campbell <joe@esper.com>]

Three of the ones I got had the Stoned Empire Monkey virus and 2 had the
NYB virus. Nortons clean the monkey virus fine, but had trouble removing
the NYB virus from one. Both of these viruses play with the boot sector and
are very prolific. I wiped all of the drives with a program call ZTEST from
Novell that completely wipes out the boot track, then Fdisked, formatted
and reinstalled dos and my other applications.
