I asked him to recheck after he gets a clean system, but here's the
information.  The fact that he's replacing his *motherboard* is
suspicious, but you never know how paranoid some people are, or how
evil viruses can be.  Maybe it reflashed his BIOS.

Hello,
    I am using virusweep, v 1.0 made by quarterdeck. I have recently
been rebuilding my system after a completely devastating virus caused
the complete replacement of motherboards and hard disks.  Your tools
have been a consistent part of what I use in my research.   And among
other things, your tools are on contaminated backups.  What would you
recommend?
Your respectfully,
Earle Jennings
