The better, “secure” and new operating system by Microsoft, Vista has succumbed to an old virus Yes that’s true some laptops pre-installed with Windows Vista Home Premium was found to have been infected with a 13-year-old boot sector virus which was first found in 1994. The virus name is “Stoned.Angelina”
A consignment of laptops from German manufacturer Medion, sold through German and Danish branches of giant retail chain Aldi, have been found to be infected with the boot sector virus ‘Stoned.Angelina’, first seen as long ago as 1994 and last included on the official WildList in 2001. According to German sources, anywhere between 10,000 and 100,000 systems may be infected, but as the machines apparently ship without floppy drives the virus is unlikely to spread. The systems come pre-installed with Windows Vista and Bullguard anti-virus, which will warn of the ‘harmless’ infection on booting the machines, but is unable to remove it.
