Anyone have any info in this???? =============================================================== Does anyone know anything about the Xeno virus? IS there any programs out there that will detect or kill it? 69th Street BBS is down do to this fiendish bug that writes to any program which is run or executed. It spreads through the hard drives and looks for FastFileSystem. With TxEd you can look at programs and see the words "Greetings Amiga users from the Xeno virus!" It also writes 1124 bytes to each program that is run. Other than that, I don't know anything about it like how it spreads and how to rid the universe of it! VirusX3.2, kv, NoVirus1.54 does not detect it. Any help would be appreciated! --- ============================================================ -- "What is another word | Dave Lowrey | [The opinions expressed MAY be for 'Thesaurus'?" | Amdahl Corp. | those of the author and are not | Houston, Texas | necessarily those of his Steven Wright | amdahl!dwl10 | employer] (`nuff said!)
