Subject: Virus? Help!
My wife's office has gotten the following messages printed out on their
networked laserprinter. She doesn't know which workstation on the Novell
network originated the printouts and no banners on printed documents are
used, so it is hard to track down. In any case, the output included:
THE COPY BANDITO
SAYS YOUR SYSTEM HAS BEEN INVADED BY
STRANGE BEINGS WHO SEEK TO DISRUPT THE NORMAL LIFE ESSENSE
PURVEYING YOUR PLACE OF WORSHIP.
WHAT IS IT THAT YOU PRAY TO?
IS ANYONE SMART ENOUGH?
TIMES UP!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOW DOWN
NO ONW [sic] HAS THE BRAINS
Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone have an suggestions as to how to
track down which program contains this virus (if it is a virus)?
Thanks. -- Ericdnewton@carroll1.cc.edu (Dave Newton) (07/16/89)
That's not a virus, someone broke in or did it as a joke.
