Earlier versions of McAfee saw it as a Generic MBR virus. In any event, McAfee cleans it out, but in the process of investigating a bit further, I was given "fdisk /mbr" as a potential disinfecting technique. (it works). So I should have known the boot manager was just a manifestation of "FreeBSD A." ;-) Thanks folks... Shane ----- Shane G.
