                    virus scans your root-dir for executable files.  
                    It also scans in your C dir. (If existing)

     Kickstarts   : 1.2/1.3/2.0

     Damage       : Some files can cause Software Failures after
                    infection. (Link-Routine from CCCP-virus!)

     Manifestation: The virus is coded.

     Removal      : Use a good viruskiller or delete infected files.

     Info         : In the decode virus you can read: "MegaLINK"

                    This virus works like the old IRQ Team linkvirus.
                    A hunk will be  added (length $fd*4) and the file
                    will be 1044 bytes longer. The  virus contains no
                    routine,  which makes  it reset proof.  The virus
                    does not patch a library.

                    Kickstart 2.0 and higher : VirusZ III, with the new Xvs.library installed
