I've read a few recent posts here that mention some newer Apple // viri, like Burp and Screen Blanker. If someone knows about these critters could he/she post notes here and in Virus-L? Thanks.

Burp: If it's the one that trashed my hard disk, it's in BASIC.SYSTEM (the version that's infected for me was v1.4). I remember reading where upon the 51st access to the BASIC.SYSTEM file it trashed the directory and renamed it "BURP!". Screen Blanker I haven't heard of. _________________________________________________________________________ | Move over Rover & |Email Addresses: Kent Squires "goo goo g'joob" | | let Jimi take over!| Internet: kjs39186@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu | | -------------------| ProLine: kents@pro-apa | | I wouldn't do it |_______ America OnLine: kents12 | | for all the farms in Cuba! | FidoNet: 233/15 Kent Squires | |____________________________|____________________________________________|

8 bit Apple's have several viruses they could become infected with. CyberAids, and Festering Hate, are the most famous ones. They are both quite dangerous. For DOS 3.3, Killer DOS will nail you as well. To eradicate?
