[comp.virus] Unknown virus ???

XUUM32@PRIME-A.CENTRAL-SERVICES.UMIST.AC.UK (Mr. Andy Packham) (03/02/90)

I may have a problem with a virus but can't identify it. The affected
file is a compression utility - when I run it the computer just hangs
and beeps at me, when I run the file after loading SCANRES the
computer just hangs. I have another copy, both are the same size but
DOS COMP gives 10+ differences. I've scanned the memory and the file
with SCAN 3.0V58 and F-SYSCHK 1.7 but neither shows anything.  Does
this sound like a virus, the file has been moved to a floppy and
overwritten on the hard disk.  It's probably not a virus but the fact
that the sizes are the same has made me abit vary.

Thanks in advance,
           Andy Packham.
