hey wily, regarding recovery.... this from a symantec email bulletin: 1.3 Recovering when the payload has been delivered The virus can do two things when it executes on the 26th of the month: 1. It can overwrite critical data areas in the first 2048 sectors of your hard disk. When that happens, you will see a "non-system disk" when the system boots from the hard drive or an "invalid media" message when you try to boot from a system floppy disk or a rescue disk. In these cases, you will need Norton Utilities or Norton Data Recovery Services to recover data on your hard disk. If you choose Symantec's Data Recovery Services, you will need to ship your hard disk to Symantec. Cost for these services is $250 for FAT16 drives and $400 for FAT32 drives. Additional is at: symantec.com btw, i wasn't able to connect to the above tech support recovery link. they must be getting a lot of business. :) mark
