I apparently have run across the Kamikaze virus... I downloaded a file called UUEXE.ZIP at FTP location MSDOS.ARCHIVE.UMICH.EDU in the directory /archive/msdos/unix. When I ran F-FCHK on the two .EXE files that were in the archive, the file UUDECODE.EXE caused the message 'This file is infected with Kamikaze' to appear. I could find no desc. of this virus in any of the three virus description files included with F-PROT. Does this FTP location *NOT* check its files for viruses? Any info on this virus would be appreciated (was it a fluke?)... Ernest Crvich Bitnet : GENERAL@VTVM1 Internet : GENERAL@VTVM1.CC.VT.EDU
