DOS Workstations

DOS Workstations Virus Attack. Just a few weeks ago one of our PCs was attacked by the stoned virus, a virulent strain that attaches itself to the boot sector and partition table of any disk that happens to be around. If you have a hard disk, all you have to do is place an infected floppy disk in Drive A and ask for a directory listing DIR. That's enough to transfer the virus to the hard disk from there it will infect every other floppy you place into the system. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Library Workstation Report Emerald Publishing
