[comp.virus] F-FCHK 1.15 & Casper Virus

gbj@melb.bull.oz.au (Graham Jose) (04/29/91)

I have just started using the latest version (1.15) of F-FCHK and it
has started reporting the possibility of infection by the Casper/1260
virus in a number of data files on my system, and others around the
company, most notably the keyboard.sys file. The previous version of
F-FCHK I have been using (1.13) did not report this warning. Could
someone (FRISK?) please explain whether I actually have an infection
or whether the checking introduced with 1.15 is simply more sensitive.

Thanks,
Graham Jose
