From what I found, the bleah viruses only replicate- there is no payload. Norton does list bleah d (b) in its virus definitions. One way to try and remove a MBR virus is to run fdisk /mbr from a clean and write-protected floppy, but you want to match the DOS on the floppy to the DOS on the hardrive you are trying to clean. Power off the computer right after you see the DOS prompt after executing the command. I've never tried it and you could wipe out your hardrive. If you have Norton, try running the DOS antivirus, just make sure your disks are write-protected before you do.

Jerr - sounds like more trouble (possible loss of hard drvie data, etc.) than it's worth to get rid of this virus. I might try to dos run of norton
