*********************************************
CryPt Software disclaimer:
COMPUFON is a resident rolodex-autodialer
Trojan program with accompanying 'shareware'
docs. It is for educational purposes only
and illustrates many of the characteristics
of an effective Trojan program.
*********************************************
The COMPUFON Trojan is a full-featured auto-dialer
and phonebook. It is memory resident and
pops up its window by pressing Alt-right-Shift.
It will accept all the parameters described
in the docs and does, in fact, store phone
numbers and dial them according to its set-up.
However, once asked to dial a phone number, COMPUFON
overwrites the systems areas of all the drives
on a given machine BEFORE dialing.
Therefore, consider it quite capable of irretrievably
spoiling the valuables on any IBM-compatible system.
Alert readers will notice COMPUFON's similarity to
Jeff Prosise's Ziff-Net utility, PC-Dial. Indeed, this
is so and illustrates how published code is easily
corrupted by the virus/trojan programmer into
convincing, yet very damaging software.
Do not use COMPUFON to dial a number unless you are
prepared to restore all your present software from
back-up.
Should you come across COMPUFON without this warning
text included, consider the file armed and dangerous.
