[comp.virus] Scanv49/Scanrs49 woes

anigbogu@loria.crin.fr (Julian ANIGBOGU) (12/04/89)

I just downloaded and uudecoded Scanv49.arc and Scanrs49.arc from
Simtel. The trouble is that when I try to execute either of them the
pc I'm using hangs! I've used both Dos 3.1 and 3.2 with the same result.
Can some virus guru out there please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm
supposed to be looking out for viruses, not to hang the machine! I
know I have a virus stalking around here and somehow attached to all
labelled disks which makes me believe it infected Label.com. Not only
that, I recently bought both Pctools 5.1 and Turbo C 2 & Assembler and
on doing executing simply Dir to check the contents of the diskettes
they all reported one hidden file with size 0 bytes! They couldn't
have left Central Points and Borland already infected! I've just found
out to my discomfort that practically all pc's here are infected.

Please HELP before I send all these stuffs flying through the window!

Thanks in advance.
