Is anybody out there taking this Friday 13 virus seriously? Has anybody
encountered it yet? What was the result?
Just curious, it has been getting media hype the past couple of days, it was
even on ABC news.

Our PC lab was recently beseiged by the Friday the 13th virus, and all out war was declared. After we were done, though, our machines were clean and protected long before the 13th. We still held our breath, but everything came out okay. Gene

My sister works at a school around here which I probably shouldn't name. Their PC lab was infected by the virus - but they weren't sure that the students didn't put the virus there intentionally just to see the "fun". Marlin Jones hplabs!hpda!mj

There are two version speed out. I do not know the difference between the versions. I will breifly describe what it should do. - released on the 1st of March 1989 - It will notify not when activated as follows - "DATACRIME VIRUS RELASED 1 MARCH 1989" - text is decoded in the program - It starts infecting other programs after the 1st of April - It infects on .COM files. - On and after Friday the 13th October it will format a couple cylinders on the hard disk and destroy the FAT. Due to the early discovery of the virus it did not spread out widely. There was also a delete and detection program developed onder the name " No-Crime" Unfortunally the author of datacrime I got also a copy of this No-Crime program and wrote an other virus called "DATACRIME II". The difference between "I " and "II" are not that much. Datacrime II starts a day earlier and is more complex so therefor more difficult to detect. Datacrime II infects both .COM and .EXE files. There is no starting date which kick off the infection. Here are the signatures for the Datacrime virussen. DATACRIME Ia 8b36010183ee038bc63d00007503e9fe00 DATACRIME Ib 8b36010183ee038bc63d00007503e90201 DATACRIME II 5e81ee030183fe00742a2e8a9403018dbc29018d8cea 068d9c38012bcb You can search your disk for the Hex strings to find out if you have an an infected disk. This is only interesting if you put back your system clock or if your system is not booted after the 12th of October. Good Luck. Regards, Willem Kutschruiter. Intergraph EM B.V. P.O.

It more or less sneezed here in the US, but in the UK, a couple of places got files wiped out. -bryon-
