Sorry if you get this message twice, I'm not sure if the first attempt
will get to you (its been one of those days :^)
I'm sure this has been discussed, but I just got back from
vacation and missed the info (we're low on disk and things get
purged quickly).
Can anyone tell me how to detect if a machine has been infected
with the Datacrime virus, what it does (I've heard that it is
supposed to erase files on a particular date), and how to get
rid of it.
I'd appreciate a response to this. It will give me a good
opportunity to demonstrate to our security gurus that Usenet
can be beneficial to security (instead of the open door that is
usually portrayed by the media).
