- Well the virus world is going as good as ever, dispite the over 20
- virus scanners/removers out there.
-
- The October 28th issue of PC-Magazine did a huge artical on the newest
- virus scanner/defense systems. Mentioned in the artical were SKISM-1
- and Captian Trips.
-
- There is a new catagory of viruses out there, DIR-2 viruses. Havent
- located one as of yet, but hope to in the near future.
-
- Bogus SCANS continue to surface in the public domain. As if SCAN 82
- was not played with enough, there have been many reports of bogus
- versions SCAN 84. Most of which contian trojan bombs and will distroy
- the FAT table or boot sector of you hard disk upon execution.
-
- I have the unreleased phone numbers of John Mcafee. Including his
- private office, home, and fax numbers. Get a hold of me somehow and I
- will get them to you.
-
- Theres a bogus version of the Red Cross virus going around on h/p
- boards. The first command is to terminate the program. Things people
- do for credit these days.
-
- In case you haven't yet heard Patti Hoffmans VSUM, virus information
- summary is now a giant hyper-text database. It's really a good
- program, check it out. Can't wait to see a bogus version of that
- going around.
-
- That's it for no - till later.
