XMONKEY
-------
Monkey is a common boot-mbr infector. When there is more than one hard
drive on a computer, all the hard drives' partition sectors will be
affected too. While Monkey is active in memory, all drive will still be
accessible. If the virus is removed from the first (master) hard drive,
without taking care of drive 2 and higher, all access to the higher
drives will be lost.
XMONKEY will remove Monkey from all drives and recover access to all
drives, if due to the improper removal of Monkey. XMONKEY will seek for
up to 8 chained hard drives.
Since XMONKEY uses the SeeThru (c) technique, embedded in InVircible, it
will function even if the virus is active in memory. XMONKEY can be used
from the infected hard drive itself, or from a floppy diskette, after
booting clean from DOS.
XMONKEY is donated to the public domain.
InVircible (tm), the disk crash recovery and generic antivirus expert
system, is available on BBS and anonymous ftp. InVircible is freeware to
the private PC user.
