-
- Jerusalem B is a file infector. It runs as a TSR, and will infect every
- executable file you run except for .COM files larger than 62K. I believe
- the virus is around 1800 bytes long.
-
- McAfee's Clean can remove this virus fairly easy to remove. It would be a
- very good idea to re-boot the computer from a known clean bootable
- diskette. If you don't have a clean bootable diskette, go ahead and type
- the following on the command line.
-
- CLEAN C: [JERU]
-
- after Clean gets finished, turn your computer off for a few seconds, then
- back on. The reason for this is that since Jerusalem-B runs as TSR. After
- the computer is clean, make a bootable diskette, then place a write
- protect tab on the notch. Then the next time you have another virus, you
- will be ready.
-
- I hope this has been of help to you.
