[MiNT] bug/virus???



Hi, Just reporting that:  Ingo Schmidt
<ingo.schmidt@stud-mail.uni-wuerzburg.de>
reported a bug/virus on his mint install.

All folders/files on all his partitions got cleanly deleted. 

It seems to indicate at first that it could have been created by
MiNTsetter. Which is unlikely, but who knows.

Anyway, if thi sis not a bug, just be aware that a virus might be
circulating. 
Best imo is to run the AES not as root. And all of you, make either a full
backup if you have the capability (streamer, cdr, and such), and or at
least just save your data files on floppy just in case.
That will save you a lot of headaches. Your information is vital, back it
up.

Thanks.
