- Subj: IS THIS A VIRUS?
- Hi. Is there a known virus which displays a screen which reads "INC, for
- quality cracks?" I have recently inherited a computer at the company I work at
- and there was apparently some tetris and blockout games on the disk which are
- the source of this message. I found a file called "runme.bat" with the text in
- it, but even after I deleted it, it still pops up the aforementioned message.
- Also, the message gives me a choice of EGA CGA or monochrome and in general,
- the message makes life difficult for me.
- any help with this would be vastly appreciated.

- If you can upload a copy of an infected file, we can see if it contains viral
- code.

- It's not a virus. INC is the International Network of Crackers. What they do
- is unprotect games and distribute them. What you do have is most likely
- illegally obtained software.
