w8sdz@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL (Keith Petersen) (10/03/89)
A BBS operator in the Detroit area received an MSDOS program infected
with a virus. The file, VGA2CGA.ARC (or .ZIP) - a program which
claims it can display VGA graphics on a CGA display, has not been
distributed in Detroit and no systems were affected as far as we know.
The date/time stamps of the member files in this archive are April 1,
1989 (April fools day).
The BBS in California where this file was obtained has been notified
to remove the file.
Please let me stress that SIMTEL20 does NOT have this program in its
archives. I am just acting as a go-between to pass the warning to
this newsgroup.
