I got it when "Hotline" was still a baby (and the phrase "P2P" was not even in existance yet). this hotline virus decided to delete files i had on my hotline server, and those it didn't delete...it hid from view. there wasn't any virus-protection out there for macs yet (at least no good ones) so the only way i could remove the virus was to reinstall the system tome, and reinstall the hotline app it's self. i now run a hotline server and a KDX server...and all is well. -Z- well, i beg to differ. i’ve run macs since the Apple 2Gs, i now run a 500/500 G4 and i can safely say that i’ve had a virus…well at least a “quasi”-virus.
