A couple o' questions about virus stuff:
1) I just got the Exorciser from Vitesse and I was wondering
if there are any other disinfect modules besides CyberAIDS,
Festering Hate, Lode Runner, and Blackout.
2) Does anyone know of a virus that screws up block $09 and
deletes folders?
3) Does anyone have a list of all II and IIgs viruses and what
they do?
Thanx.

Just to add to the continuing Vitesse vs ProSel-16 wars: "Virus protection When ProSel-16 is asked to launch a program, it automatically checks for known viruses and will not allow such files to be launched. The viruses currently checked for are "Cyber-Aids", "Festering Hate", and "Burp". The rather different viruses "Load Runner" and "Screen blanker" are checked for in memory and eliminated ... When ProSel-16 detects a virus, you will be so informed." (Page 7 of the printed manual, received with version 8.69 (or so...).) >Scott Walker >swalker@phobos.unm.edu -- fadden@cory.berkeley.edu (Andy McFadden) ..!ucbvax!cory!fadden fadden@hermes.berkeley.edu (when cory throws up)

Apparently the Star Fighter II virus has been floating around lately
as well. I don't know much about it, other than the fact that
Photonix will identify it when copying disks. I'm assuming it's a
boot-block type virus.
Anyway, I know a couple of people who are convinced they have it, and
claim it does weird crashes of their computer and writes junk into
their folders and hard drives.
