I have (had) caught the LamerII virus from a (Non Pirate!) bbs. VirusX mentions the Lamer Exterminator virus, which waited a while, then wrote Lamer! in random parts of disks. (Very nasty...) VirusX(4.0) does detect the LamerII virus, but it doesn't mention what it does. Is it the same as the Lamer Exterminator? Are they both the same as Lamer's Revenge? I seem to have nipped it in the bud, but I would like to know what it was trying to do to me. Also, what interactions does the cold capture vector on the 2500/30 have with virusX? thanks, dylan

I would feel better if you did try to track down the source of this virus. -- mail: seh@pmafire.UUCP Steve Holaday or !uunet!pmafire!seh I *HATE* long signature files!
