Hidden Valley computer virus

Overview
Hidden Valley computer virus is related to Still in the Dark and needs to be fixed to gain relevant data for helping Hardin to oust McNamara.

Walkthrough
The Brotherhood found a holodisk while searching the wastes for technology. When it was put onto the system, it infected it with a virus. The virus was originally put on a holodisk by "some guy with nothing better to do", as said by the annoyed Scribe Ibsen. The computer virus infected a few computers in the bunker, and the Courier is asked by Ibsen to 'partition' the virus for Ibsen.

The Courier must find the Virus on 3 terminals in 60 seconds to wipe it from the system. To do so, quickly enter each terminal and choose the only option you can. Then, if the text that shows up seems like a random string of letters and numbers, proceed to the next terminal. If you get a taunting message on the second screen, choose the option to isolate the virus. If you do not get all 3 terminals in the time limit, you will have to speak with Scribe Ibsen again. You will get a new 60 seconds and the terminals that the virus has infected will randomize.

If you have a high enough science score (70) you can suggest partitioning the terminals when the virus jumps to it, giving read only access to the kernel administrator. This isolates the virus on that terminal permanently and leaves you one less terminal to find should you fail.

The virus can be paritioned easily by saving immediately after Ibsen tells you it has jumped. The terminals the virus jumped to will be consistent when you re-load the saved game. Note that the virus can jump to the terminal Ibsen is standing in front of.

or when you find one that has the virus press isolate virus three times and it should purge it (needs verification)

Bugs
If you choose the dialogue associated with a high science skill, you're able to partition terminals which the virus jumps to. After you partition 3 terminals, the quest cannot advance any further. No other terminals will have the virus jump to it, and you're not given a solution to the quest in any way. This bug is conditional, yet the conditions are still unknown. (Confirmed) Bug is still present after the 1.01 patch.

FIX/WORKAROUND: In the G.E.C.K., find the entry HVHuntingVirusScript. Open it and change the line "if VirusTimer > 0.0 && NumberFixed == 3" (without the quotes) to "if VirusTimer > 0.0 && NumberFixed >= 3" (again, without the quotes). Save the file to your Fallout New Vegas/Data folder, and load it as you would any mod/DLC from the launcher. Talk to Ibsen to start the virus count, and check one of the already partitioned terminals. Ibsen will then announce the virus is purged, and the terminals will work.
