Jumping in here, and not wanting to start a pissing match but; There was a lot
of discussion about this a year or so back in a news group -- the only known
OS2 virus that has ever existed -- was one that was created for test purposes
-- to prove it could be done. It never escaped the test lab that created it.
Whatever the people you know experienced is something else. I for one would
want to see proof and hear it from a responsible source, who verified it --
before I believed it was an OS2 virus.
