[comp.virus] Possible DIR EXEC Remedy

C0195@UNIVSCVM.BITNET (Gregory E. Gilbert) (11/28/89)

I adapted the following EXEC to help, possibly, in slowing the DIR
EXEC if it is still a problem.  Please note that I am unaware of any
problems with the EXEC, but it has not been what I would call
"extensively tested" (about 30 minutes in the making) so please do not
be upset at me if it does anything really nasty to some files.  It did
not do anything to my files.  (Above should be read "disclaimer".)

 ------------------------Chop Here if you wish--------------------------
/*  This EXEC was written by Karen Maloney and modified by Greg     */
/*  Gilbert to change any files with the filename of DIR and the    */
/*  filetype of EXEC to a new filename and filetype of TROJAN HORSE */
/*                                                                  */
/*  One can place "EXEC ANTIDIR" (quotes included) in one's         */
/*  PROFILE EXEC and have this EXEC executed upon loggin on.        */
/*                                                                  */
