nasty virus...ouch

Hey guys,
a sort of heads up..
My brother got the opaserv.k virus. Nasty stuff.
It rewrote his cmos, and now on boot only displays info that his version of windows was illegal, gives a phone number, and refers to the BSA site.
Will know tomorrow whether it formatted the HD, which is is supposed to be able to do.

He was running Norton, although probably not update. A win98 machine, on Dialup that they probably used 2-3 times a week. I was pretty shocked they even got it.

Watch out for this one...also, it can be found and cleaned before it's run, and attacks the cmos.
