> TROJAN VERSION OF VIRUSCAN VERSION 78
Aryeh,
MSgt Michael Baker here from Wright-Patterson AFB, Oh. There is
also another version of McAfee's virus scan program called vscan82.
This version surfaced in the Dayton Oh area a few months back and
McAfee was notified. He seemed really upset, which I can understand,
cause the someone who is doing this is out to ruin McAfee. One of the
local BBS sysops here is on a first name basis with McAfee. I think
his bbs alone has had about 10 virus infected programs uploaded to
him.
In our organization here we had 8 cpu's infected with the 4096
virus. We think that it came from a game, but with it infecting just
about all files, it is hard to narrow it down.
Now there is a scare out on the "STONED" virus. Have not seen it
as yet, but the way things go, I am sure it won't be long.
If you find any other info on the virus scare, let me know if you
would, please. I operate a bbs for the HQ AFLC called the Info Center
BBS, (513)257-7416, and pass along information like this out to the
gov't users.
Later
Michael Baker
