LOL.. That reminds me of many years ago, a friend and I each had an Eagle portable PC; one of the early PC clones. He had ran a defrag of his hard disk and now few if any of the DOS programs would work. He was convinced he had a bad virus on his PC.
We found the problem was that he had faulty memory; the defrag read all files into RAM and wrote them back out. Any of the contents of the files read into the faulty error of RAM were now corrupt.
