- I have a question about the Joshi virus (yes, yesterday was January 5th).
-
- Does Joshi trap attempts at warm reboots? There was an intermittent
- problem with a new program on a computer that turned out
- to be infected with Joshi. The problem was sporadic enough that I
- can't be certain that getting rid of Joshi eliminated it, but if
- Joshi was trapping Alt-Ctrl-Del, then that would explain the "bug".
-
- I checked the info in F-Prot, and it wasn't that specific, and I'm
- not sure where else to check (my impression from reading this group
- is that there aren't many reliable sources for descriptions of
- specific viruses). Thanks.
