#NEW IRQ VIRUS
2 messages in this thread
I just uploaded a file to DL10 called IRQKILL.ARC. This arcfile contains the
programs you will need to deal with the new IRQ VIRUS. This virus is
particularly nasty as it attaches itself to executable programs, especially
those in the C: directory. ARC contains VIRUSX 3.0 and KV. the Arc file is
only 30K and is a MUST GET! for everyone.

May I add to this message of Stan's the same information I put in another
sector – just in case you might miss that one.
As an addition to Stan's file, you might want to get SYSCHK.ARC from Lib14 of
AmigaTech. It will do what one of the articles in IRQKILL suggests: compare
your WB files with those of release 1.3, and report to you any that are not
exactly the same. It doesn't check your startup sequence, but does check most
of the other things – everything in the C:, L, Libs, and some of the other
directories. It would help tremendously in rooting out the bad files if you
should be afflicted with this virus.
