For SAM 2.0 Users: A new virus has been discovered in France. It is a strain of the ANTI virus, and was named ANTI-ANGE by its discoverer. It is very similar to ANTI. It attacks only applications, and generally exhibits the same behaviour as ANTI. It has certain bugs (which the previous ANTI does not have) which can cause applications to crash once infected. If you are using SAM 2.0 and have configured SAM Intercept in the Standard, Advanced, or Custom levels, then SAM will alert you when ANTI-ANGE attempts to change an application's code. Denying this attempt keeps ANTI from spreading. Using Virus Clinic you may also add a new virus definition to identify this virus by name. The fields for the virus definition are: Virus Name: ANTI Resource Type: CODE Resource ID: 1 Resource Size: Any Search String: 000A317CFFFF000CA033303C0997A146 (hexadecimal) Search Offset: Any (or, for later versions of SAM, -886 will also work) Paul Cozza SAM Author
