Subject: Jerusalem Virus Cannot Bypass NetWare Security
Date: September 12, 1990
OS Version: All

GENERAL
INFORMATION: In the July 23 issue of Network World there was an article
about a new strain of the Jerusalem virus that was
allegedly written specifically to bypass NetWare security.
Upon receiving the article here, we immediately called
virus detection group to see if they had heard anything
about it and whether they had a detector and/or cure.
It's the standard Jerusalem-B virus that appeared in
September 1987 or so. SCAN and CLEAN will detect and
remove it respectively. Someone panicked and thought
it was a new virus.
The Jerusalem virus and its many variants are the most
prolific and widely found viruses, but even they cannot
break down NetWare security. Logging in as Supervisor
will cause a virus to proliferate because of the
Supervisor's rights, but the average user can only
affect their own files, not the entire network.
There is no virus that can (as yet) bypass NetWare
security.
