[comp.virus] Want suggestions on how to delete virus

LIZBB%CUNYVM.BITNET@VMA.CC.CMU.EDU (Elizabeth Caruso) (10/17/89)

Today, our Novell LAN reported a hardware error when users tried to
access programs stored on our File Server.  At first we did not know
it was a virus because the same programs would run for one user and
not run for another.  I had a feeling it might be a virus when I
performed a Novell Netware command "NCOPY" and the screen messages
where overwritten by characters that did not make sense.  We decided
to run "VIRSCAN" to check for viruses.  39 files where infected with
the JERUSALEM virus including the "NCOPY" file.

HAS ANYONE ENCOUNTERED THE JERUSALEM VIRUS ON THEIR LOCAL AREA
NETWORKS?

We would like to delete the infected files and replace them with clean
copies but we don't know if this will be a correct action to take.
Will recoping be enough or do we have to format our File Server?  IF
ANYONE HAS DELETED JERUSALEM FROM THEIR SYSTEM, (LAN OR PC SYSTEM) WE
WOULD LOVE SOME ADVICE!!!!  HOW DOES THIS VIRUS INFECT A SYSTEM AND
SPREAD?
