[comp.virus] Another strain of Lamer Exterminator on amiga.

ccemdd@uunet.UU.NET (Marco Dedecker) (07/10/89)

Here is a warning to all amiga users, who completely rely on the
current available viruskillers.

The virus called 'Lamer Exterminator' has more then one strain.
At least one of strains will be recognized by virusX 3.2, but I
came across another strain that wasn't recognized by it.

And so far I haven't found a program that noticed the virus when it
was in memory. The guardian only sees it when you execute the
bootblock within the guardian, but it can't kill the virus although
it said it did kill it.

The virus uses the KickTagPtr to stay resident and it manipulates
the exec call DoIO, to make it reactivate after you have done somekind
of IO.
