Our visiting Indonesian grad students have brought two viruses to our campus (Memorial University), they are called denzuko (which has no apparent translation into english) and semlohe, which apparently means sexy. The students in question may have the antidote, but have I simply have not had a spare 15 minutes this week to look into it properly. Has anyone heard of these viruses from Indonesia??

I wouldn't be surprised if this was a variant of the DenZuk virus. The name sounds too close. Paul Kerchen kerchen@fuji.eecs.ucdavis.edu - or - kerchen@holly.eecs.ucdavis.edu

If so, then it is a boot sector infector which is a fairly close "knock off" of the original "Brain" virus. The boot sector will look very similar to a "Brain" infected disk, with the difference being that the original text about Brain computer services has been replaced with "DEN ZUK" and an Indonesian Ham license number. More details can be found in any reasonably complete virus characteristics list. (I do remember that when this was being actively discussed on the net that two alternative translations for "Den Zuk" were "The Sweet" (or "The Suger") and "The Knife". The later may be reasonable in view of the fact that "Den Zuk" erases the original "Brain" infection.) ============= Vancouver p1@arkham.wimsey.bc.ca | "If you do buy a Institute for Robert_Slade@mtsg.sfu.ca | computer, don't Research into (SUZY) INtegrity | turn it on."

I have contacted the author of the virus, and got the whole story from him - quite interesting story, in fact. Anyhow, "Denzuko" is just his nickname. - -frisk
