[comp.virus] Invisible INITs - Don't

XRJDM@SCFVM.BITNET (Joe McMahon) (12/21/89)

Any file which is invisible will not bec checked for INIT resources.
This means that GateKeeper and GateKeeper Aid are *not working*
because they have not gotten to install their hooks.

System 6.0.2 (I think) was the first System to add this check to the INIT
mechanism; this was done to help combat the Scores virus's famous invisible
"Desktop" and "Scores" files, which contained INITs.

Summary: Make INITs and cdev's invisible, and any INITs they install won't
         work.
