Last weekend I found a Tick Virus in a friend's disk. It was detected and removed by Virus_Checker 5.22. I didn't find a virus description in the Virus_Checker docs. It was a boot block type and seems to be harmless, but I would like to confirm with you. Anyone can give me a short explanation about wat this virus does? I have a virus backup, if anyone want a copy. * Gelson Dias Santos * Bitnet/Internet: GELSON@SBU.UFRGS.ANRS.BR * * Porto Alegre - RS * Sorry, english is not my native language! * * BRAZIL * (Alguem fala portugues?) * ********************************************************************* * Should be working on my taxes but this is more fun...

Any virus that is recognized but not mentioned what it does in the docs is just a virus that will copy itself from disk to disk. -- *** John Veldthuis, NZAmigaUG. johnv@tower.actrix.gen.nz ***
