Hi Virus Hunters, It has been a while since I worked on debrain and I have been away from this list for some time, so I am a little out of date. Please forgive me if this has been talked about recently. The University of Maryland has been hit by the Jerusalem Virus. The McAfee programs SCANRES and VIRSCAN have been invaluable in helping to detect the infection, but they don't help remove it. So what I am asking for is: 1) Is there a Public Domain program that will remove the virus from a machine? 2) I would like a detailed description of this virus, i.e. Is it a boot virus, where in RAM does it live, what INTs does it steal... Please send any info to my mail address, as I don't have the time to read this list regularly. Thanx in advance... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Erik Sherk sherk@umd5.umd.edu Network Infrastructure (301) 454-0864 Computer Science Center University of Maryland

I have dealt with a strike of Jerusalem's virus on a friend's PC and succeded in producing a program to wipe out all viruses from the disk. Since I claim no copyright over the code I will post it in a few days. Antonio Julio Raposo (ajr@inesc, LISBOA, PORTUGAL) [Ed. The code, when posted, will be forwarded to the VIRUS-L/comp.virus PC archive sites.]
