G1) I was infected by the Jerusalem virus and disinfected the infected files with my favorite anti-virus program. However, Wordperfect and some other programs still refuse to work. Why? The Jerusalem virus and WordPerfect 4.2 program combination is an example of a virus and program that cannot be completely disinfected by an anti-virus tool. In some cases such as this one, the virus will destroy code by overwriting it instead of appending itself to the file. The only solution is to re-install the programs from clean (non-infected) backups or distribution media. (See question D10.) .
