[comp.virus] unknown virus--help

DTHURMON@UTCVM.BITNET (03/01/91)

this note is in reply to Christie Kell's note concerning a virus
infecting the file WIN386.EXE on a pc.  my guess would be that the
virus came from a floppy inserted into the pc at some time.  your best
bet, rather than investing in an expensive virus killer, is simply to
remove the WIN386.EXE file and re-install it from the factory copy.
if this is not possible, however, i would reccomend VIRUCIDE by
McAffee and Associates.  i work in a microcomputer lab, and we have
found it to be very effective in keeping things cleaned up.  this
should be available to any non-profit organization, but is not
licensed for business use.  if you cannot get the address of McAffee
and Associates, i will be happy to mail it to you.  good luck!
