   Fewer than 5 GS viruses are known to exist, and all were written
back in the 80s. Unless you're dealing with pirated crud, you
shouldn't have to worry. [Or, like the GS<>IRC demo which had a
warning to a sector editor saying "You sector edit this program, your
HDs may be erased."-- programmers fighting back against the thieves
and liars.]
