I'm posting this request on behalf of a friend who doesn't have access
to news. Also, I don't always read this newsgroup, so please mail any
replies direct to me. If there is sufficient response, I will
summarise to the net.
The subject line says it all really...does anyone know anything about
the so- called "SYSLOCK" virus, and in particular, how it works, how
to get rid of it? It has been discovered on "Compaq 286 & 386's and
PS2/30 + 20Mb HD". All my friend knows about it is that it appears to
add ~3500 bytes to files and spreads quickly!
Any help anyone could give would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
John
