Nice dealer, ripping off his customers !! There is no beethoven virus, if
there was, it would be recognized by the majority of AV programs.
Marcel D - AV guy speaking entirely for myself !
This weeks free advise : Windows works better if you disable Plug & Play in
your BIOS.
See the faces of this newsgroup at http://members.aol.com/altcompvir/
There is indeed a virus that plays something, I didn't know NAV called it
beethoven. I am pretty sure it's called something else by other AV proggies.
Well, I still think this dealer is abusing his customer.....Anyway, it looks
like that...

Beethoven
It is a dangerous memory resident parasitic encrypted virus. It hooks
INT 1Ch, 21h and writes itself to the end of COM and
EXE files that are executed or opened. Depending on its internal counter
and the system timer this virus overwrites MBR of
hard drive and files with a Trojan program. When that program is
executed, it displays the message and plays the music:
Beethoven is here.... And now, enjoy the music...

This description is quoted from the AVPVE description of the virus - I
have not checked Joe Well's wild list

F-Prot is available from http://www.complex.is
Dr Solomon's is still at http://www.drsolomon.com
AVP in Europe is at http://www.avp.ch
No. According to Vgrep NAV knows only one Beethoven virus ...
Almost all anti virus scanners (incl. F-Prot, Dr Solly and AVP) call
this virus Beethoven.
But maybe you didn't mean these scanners??? :))
Then, yes, you're right ... NAI doesn't call it Beethoven.
