- I have found the VACSINA virus on a student laptop which came in for
- repairs. Using the following software produced these results:
-
- Bates Anti-Virus Utilities v3.37
-
- TREE.COM Found Vacsina - TP05 <1206>
- MEM.EXE Found Vacsina - TP05 <1206>
-
- F-PROT v2.04
-
- TREE.COM Infection: Vacsina (TP-5)
- MEM.EXE Infection: Vacsina (TP-5)
- CHKDSK.EXE Infection: Vacsina-loader
-
- I am interested in the result of F-PROT indicating CHKDSK. Is this
- file infected - probably but to what extent? Is it important that one
- utility recognised CHKDSK while the other did not?
-
- As always thanks in advance.
