Re: [MSX] pc virus on funet

Coul it not be that because of the nature of MSX-binaries (compressed and
non-compressed) most of the time an AV-scanner detects a virus?

Just my two Eurocents.

I'm trying to see if I can warn someone about it (there's another
mirror on this file on mirrors, without the virus, so I think
nothing was lost). I think the danger lies in people who use
MSX simulators and unwisely copied the faulty image to real disk...
Confirmed. I don't know what virus it is, but the bootsector is definitely 
corrupted.
