I am posting this for a friend with a IIGS who recently fell victim to a
virus attack. The symptoms (I think they were in this order):
1) A pop-up window appeared in the Finder with the message, "Die!"
2) When he tried to open his text viewer DA, it froze and the words "Ha!
Ha! Ha!" appeared all over it.
3) Now, just about everything is bombing.
He has done a complete reformat of his hard drive and restored from
backups, but the virus was still there. He has Lode Runner, and
downloaded the L. R. virus killer (while he still could), but hasn't
tried it yet.
These symptoms may be slightly skewed, since they were told to me quickly
by phone. Can someone identify this virus? Thank you thank you thank you
for your help.
