During the past 3 weeks, I have had to disinfect a number of sites here in Australia (Oz) that were infected with the SLOW virus. Disinfection has just been a matter of wiping the infected .com and exe files. For virus reference, I have vsum9008: this is the latest information I have but this document has no detail on any damage that this virus can inflict. MacAfee's virlist lists it as O,P,L but that is all the information I have. Does anyone have any information as to what triggers its destructive mechanism and how it accomplishes the damage? Is there any more known about this virus? I realise that infection outside of Oz is rare but it is quite virulent here and any information would be gratefully accepted.
