Any idea ? DE>Search for killmonk.exe >(Or is it a .com?) That didn't exactly answer the question, but I wish I'd found that when I first needed it.. I ended up using a program called Integrity Master which allowed you to save a copy of the MBR with the virus running and then reboot to floppy and replace the MBR. It did the job but it's a big program if you just need it for the one virus.. For future reference I'll go looking for Killmonk. Hopefully I'll never need it but it might be easier and F-Prot for DOS sure couldn't kill the monkey, so to speak..
