[comp.virus] another trojan called "Virus Info"

werner@cs.utexas.edu (Werner Uhrig) (03/21/90)

	shortly after the first 2 trojans showed up on "that Canadian BBS"
	a third (but technically different) one showed up - and I do not
	believe anyone reported it publically yet (and I had hopes to
	snarf the "evil ones" with it. alas ....)

	This trojan claims to also be from the "DeathTrack" group as were
	the first two.

	it will *IMMEDIATELY* destroy your disk(s) - and I assume if anyone
	had run into it, we would have heard about it by now ...:-()

	well, if anyone sees it show up ANYWHERE (or any other program which
	you suspect after running it and finding your hard disk unusable
	immediately afterwards, for that matter) please let me know.
	(you do keep copies of all new software you download on more
	 than one place, don't you?!!  else, if you execute it and it
	 destroys the disk it was on .... right.  you can't send me a
	 copy for analysis!)

		Cheers (what for?! right!),		---Werner
