[comp.virus] New Trojans

warthman@softvax.radc.af.mil (WARTHMAN) (02/06/90)

Peter Johnston posted information about two strains of a new trojan
which can damage the Macintosh file system. One strain exists in a
program called "Mosaic" and the other in a program called
"FontFinder". I'd like to know if anyone else has had experience with
these two trojans, and which of the existing commercial and public
domain anti-virus tools can detect/prevent them from doing their
damage. Since the "FontFinder" trojan has a trigger date of 10 Feb,
it's important that we quickly publicize this trojan's effects and
countermeasures.  Thanks in advance.
