CHRISTMAS VIOLATOR VIRUS
There has been a hacked version of Omen Technology's DSZ ZMODEM External
File Protocol Module called DSZ1203.ZIP. The DSZ file inside is infected
with a new variant of the Violator virus known as the Christmas Violator
or Violator-B4 virus. The virus contains a an ASCII message from a group
called RABID and contains a Christmas Greeting. It is not known what else
the virus does.
The following search string can be used by VIRUSCAN with the /EXT switch
to check for the virus:
"51 ba ? ? fc 8b f2 81 c6 9b 11 bf 00 01 b9 03 00" Christmas Violator
If you find this virus on your system, run VIRUSCAN with the /D option to
delete the infected files.

NEW BBS LINE
A new bbs line has been added to Homebase BBS at (408) 988-5190. This line
has a US Robotics Courier 9600 Dual Standard providing a 9600bps connection
using v.32 and MNP-5. Hopefully, this will make getting the software easier
for International Long Distance callers.
Regards,
Aryeh Goretsky
