I had my computer scanned @ trendmicro.com. It found the
virus PE_MAGISTR.B In the instructions to fix this
problem it says, "If during the scanning the Trojan was
detected in WIN.COM or NTLDR, DO NOT RESTART WINDOWS.
This Trojan portion of the virus will trash your hard
drive. For 9x/ME users, obtain a clean copy of the
WIN.COM and overwrite the one that was detected."
How do I obtain a clean copy of this "WIN.COM" for Windows
ME and then overwrite the one that was detected?
