Who's left on the list?

[Elian Degen J.]

Hi, I am still here

CIH virus was even announced by TV here in Venezuela, Symantec also had a
DOS based release, I runned it two days ago and found nothing in my machine,
I do not know how many were affected, but it seems it was a very high number
of users.
