evening,

i would like to find out just what the "stoned empire monkey.b" wanted from the user's computer. i have learned (from internet forums) that it went to and moved the mbr record on the harddrive. does the virus try to get the passwords and such and then use email to send to off to another address. i have learned that it is a old virus but can not seem to find out just what is was suppose to do the the computer.

i was working/playing with an old computer with a small 325.46M (341090304 bytes) harddrive. i think the drive is less than a gm. in any case, i think i got the virus when i was trying to make a bootdisk off the drive to use once i had fdisk and formated the drive. i was going to reuse that diskette and so placed it into my dell machine to format and the avg picked up the virus, stoned empire monkey.b.....

i ran my virus, spybot and ad aware.........all came back clean. i still worry that the boot record was moved and that it (the virus) is just not seen.



please, any help.

thanks superheat,

i found out that it sometimes gives a message when you boot up saying your computer is stoned. i can live with that... but i think i cleaned it up and i am glad i don't have to worry about emailing it to anyone.

thanks
