Sensor's Lamer-Defence
This program will destroy the Lamer-Revenge-virus on your disks.
There are two kinds (by my knowledge!) of the Lamer-Revenge-Virus.
- The first version destroys all your disks present in the diskdrives at
the time you reset the computer for the 6th time. This virus will
copy itself on any not write-protected disk. It uses the
startup-sequence to infect the computer. When an infected disk is
inserted in an external drive the virus will not be activated (you
might think that the computer can never be infected by an external
drive, but you can be wrong!). The virus can not be spotted by a
virus killer that uses the bootblock. After the virus has done it's
thing (destroying all your disks) it will display some alerts telling
you what he things is a joke!. Whell let me tel you that it's no joke!
- The second version of the virus will not destroy your disks entirely.
But will only create a block containing only the word LAMER!!!. This
block has a bad checksum. When this has happend and you want to load
the source of your newly coded demo (which might be the only copy of
that source) you will get the message VOLUME .... HAS A READ/WRITE
ERROR and that means you have to start all over again. This version
is somewhat less agressive than the one mentioned above, but this
one will also infect the computer when inserted in an external drive.
This means that no matter where you insert the disk (df0: df1: df2: df3:)
the computer will be infected.
That was some general information on the Lamer-Revenge-Virus. Now let me
explain how this killer works.
When you execute the Lamer-Defence program the first thing it will do
is check the computer for any resident program. When it has spotted one it
will display the following message:
Resident program found in memory, might be a virus!
press return to force a cold reset.
There is no way to avoid this reset because it refuses to work with any
resident program in the system.(this means you should not use any virus-
killers beside this one).
When no warning is given and you used the -l option (this will be explained
later on!) it will ask you to insert a disk in the drive you have choosen.
When you have done this, wait a until the drive has stopped spinning.
Only then press return!. This waiting is done because of the way the second
Revenge virus works (with this virus it will take a bit longer for the drive
to stop spinning, because the virus must be activated first!). When the
second virus is found it will instandly be removed from the disk. When this
has happend the computer will state that the virus was detected as the
disk-validator, because the computer has been infected and i don't want any
disks to be destroyed you must press enter to force a cold reset. I know
that this is not the best way but is was the only way. When you want to
check another disk and you were forced to reset you must start all over
again. NEVER and i repeat NEVER use [ctrl amiga amiga] to reset the computer
when you are asked to press return to force a cold reset, because when you
do press [ctrl amiga amiga] the virus will still be active.
When you want to use this utility to check for the second virus you must
remember de following:
start it as follows: ld df?: -l (never forget the -l !!!)
never insert a disk before the program asks for one!!
always wait until the drives stop spinning!!
When you want it to check for the first virus you can start it up with or
without the -l option. By the way the -l option stands for LOOP.
Some general information:
some notes for those who want to put this utility on their
utility-disk: Add a disk-configuration to your disk. But be
sure that it isn't a Lamer-Revenge-Virus (use this util ??).
When the second virus was found and killed it will still be in the
'l' directory named Lamer_Revenge_Virus. Delete it or add it to
your collection of virusses!. But never execute it!!.
When the utility is on the original disk(that is the disk i made)
you will find the following programs:
- an original disk-validator (you need it to validate the
disinfected disks!)(second virus!)
- dir : to look in the directory L
- type : to type the startup-sequence of a possible infected disk
(first version of the lamer-revenge-virus) look for an
empty line in the startup-sequence because the name of that
virus is " " (five alternated spaces(alt+5*spc))
- delete : to delete the Lamer_Revenge_Virus in the directory L
don't bother to delete the disk-validator while the
virus is active it won't work.
- LD.DOC : this documentation file
- LD : the virus killer (short for Lamer-Defence)
It also containes a bootblock that spots every virus in memory but
one. The one that it cannot spot is the first Lamer-Revenge-Virus.
You notice the presence of the second virus by putting a unvalidated disk in
your drive without a disk-validator on it, normally the computer will state:
unable to load disk-validator
use diskdoctor etc. etc.
But now it doesn't do that because when ever the computer searches for
the disk-validator it finds the virus and doesn't inform you that the
disk-validator can't be found.
I hope i have informed you in time of these new virusses. I don't think they
have spread much, because i noticed them in an early stage. But be sure to
check your disks(programming disks!) for a possible virus.
I used my own kickstart to find them. This kickstart recognises
every virus. Interested ?. Come to our copy party and ask me a copy.
(this one is better than our RIPKICK !).
Greetings from SPY of SENSOR.
PS. I think a person who writes a virus deserves to be called
the most misunderstood person that ever set foot on earth! (I like to
keep it nice!) further more i think that the person who writes the
LAMER virusses is in fact himself the biggest LAMER!!!
One just isn't enough, right JM?
