- 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.
