- Comments : A file which pretends to be a new mailing system for
- BBS's. It is unique. Express2.20 135400 bytes packed
- with lha. Unpacked 194064 bytes with an 776 bytes
- executable appendage named "aibon".
-
-
- When the Express 2.20 program is runned it does an
- unconditional jump to the label aibon and from there
- the tracking halts.
-
-
- The Express 2.20a bomb you can download yourself from
- several BBS's with the name:
-
- d-aex220.lha
-
-
- If you are starting the virus it tries to copy
- Aibon to ":s". Then the virus modifies the startup-
- sequence with the virusname. After all changings were
- successful all files in "sys:" will be cut down to 42
- bytes.
-
- This files CANNOT.... be repaired. The virus checks
- for "bbs:", too. If existing ALL files will be first
- destroyed there.
-
-
- It is very common to fabricate installers with an
- executeable and a Path-generating part. From the
- moment the program is installed there is no need for
- the installer anymore.
-
-
- The task of the Path-generating part is only to
- enquire the users preferable device, then embed it in
- the executable and sometimes, after that, throw
- itself away.
-
-
- In this case it's obviously not the concern. It
- probably is a spin from a hackers workshop.
-
- If convenient, see the file EM-Wurm, too.

-
- ADVICE:
-
- a) Delete s/Aibon
-
- b) Delete Express2.20
-
- c) Change your Startup-Sequence (!)
