The microcomputer lab at the University of Oklahoma has several
Macintoshes linked together by Appletalk. The nVIR virus (don't know
which variant) has hit them hard, and I would like the answers to some
questions for them:
1) How do you disinfect such a network when being attacked?
2) Is there a program available which will not only kill infected
folders, but will change each byte that the folder currently
represents to null (to delete the virus code entirely, not just the
directory entry)?
3) How does one detect other likely viruses (I am new to comp.virus,
and have no idea of how to get hold of disinfectant programs).
4) How far can the source of the infection be traced (for example, not
at all, to the machine, to the date, to the time, to the user)?
5) Are any programs available which constantly monitor problem files
and inform of modifications to them?
Thank you very much
