VirusScan Version 2.1.0 (KAOS)
Copyright 1994 by McAfee, Inc.
All Rights Reserved.
OVERVIEW
This is a special release of VirusScan Version 2.1.0 to detect
and remove the KAOS virus which was accidentally distributed on
Usenet.
This version of VirusScan is provided at no charge to the user.
While McAfee has made reasonable efforts to test this version
no guarantee is given as to the accuracy or fitness of this
special version of VirusScan.
The KAOS Virus is a direct-action (not memory-resident) .COM and
.EXE file infector. Infected files are increased by 697 bytes.
The virus is simple and uses no mechanisms such as encryption or
stealth techniques to avoid detection. It has one text string that
reads "KAOS4 / Köhntark" inside its code. The virus contains no
routines to do anything except replicate.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Copy the SCAN.EXE, SCAN.DAT, NAMES.DAT, and CLEAN.DAT files
to a floppy disk. Label this the VirusScan disk and write-
protect it.
2. Boot the computer you wish to check from a clean (virus-free)
DOS boot diskette.
3. Insert the VirusScan diskette into the computer, change to
that disk drive, and run VirusScan by typing:
SCAN {drive(s)}
Where {drive(s)} is the drive(s) you wish to scan for the
KAOS virus.
3a. If the virus is found, run VirusScan with the /CLEAN option
to remove the virus by typing:
SCAN {drive(s)} /CLEAN
This will remove the virus code from infected files.
