     Comments     : The Beethoven virus is another Bret-Hawnes-Clone. The
                    only differences are:

                    The  Beethoven  shows  an alert after 20 minutes. But
                    this  only  happenes  with Kick 1.3 and RANGER RAM ->
                    $C00000

                    The  alert-texts  aren`t  visible in the file because
                    they are crypted

     Removal      : Kickstart 1.2 & 1.3 : VT-Schutz v3.17
                    Kickstart all others: VirusZ III with Xvs.library installed
