Well, we have seen a few - here is a partial list. Macho/Syslock - looks for "Microsoft" and changes it to "Macrosoft"/"Machosoft" The (reported only) "SYS" variant of "Den Zuk". Flip - seems to target an unknown program, perhaps an anti-virus progra, dBase - corrupts dBase files. There have been unconfirmed reports of two viruses - "Novell" and "123", targeted against those products. There may be a few more - I just don't remember them right now... - -frisk Fridrik Skulason University of Iceland | Technical Editor of the Virus Bulletin (UK) | Reserved for future expansion E-Mail: frisk@rhi.hi.is Fax: 354-1-28801 |
