I had a little (controled) anticmos infection too a couple of months ago. It's a pretty simple virus, it reproduces through diskette boot records and the harddisk MBR. On activation (I don't know when this happens) it erases the cmos, which is easy to repair! You can kill it with almost any antivirus (fprot, mcafee, thunderbyte, ...) or you just FORMAT ?: /U the disk.

Impossible. Voltages internal to the monitor are not controlable externally. The subject of hardware destroying viruses etc are off-topic here as announced recently by the Moderator. They just simply don't exist. Anyone wishing to re-open the discussion can send a working copy of such a virus through to the Moderator and I am sure he will re-open the discussion. I won't hold my breath waiting for that event. Otherwise, any discussion is worthless and pure conjecture.
