[comp.virus] Request for info on the Ohio virus

BOWMAN@morekypr.bitnet (02/13/91)

Hello virus-l,

I just joined the list and I am interested in finding out information
regarding the "Ohio" virus.

I've been told it only hits 360K floppies and it infects the boot sector.

What I would like to know is what the virus does.  Does it destroy data?
Does it destroy FATs? etc...

We have discovered a large number of floppies infected with this virus and
are in the process of cleaning it up.

Please respond directly to me.  I will summarize if appropriate.

Thanks in advance.
