-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- ......................... VIRUS HELP DENMARK ...................... -------------------- 17 August 2001 Hi All.... We have found the installer of the new 'Hitch-Hiker 5.00' linkvirus. There is "NO" cure for this virus right now. You can find infected files, you will have to replace the infected files with new clean files. The 'Hitch-Hiker v5.00' virus will add 3732 bytes to every infected file, and place it self in memory, so you will have to watch out for that as well. This virus will infect anything that it can get into. And on my test A1200 over 400 files, was infected in under 3 minutes. This virus comes from Poland again, just like the other viruses that we have found in the last 6 month. But why don't you guy's program something usefull, that everyone can enjoy? In the code (decoded), you can read: Hitch-Hiker Millenium (5.00) Featuring the 1's Advanced V8sA Op'miz Code A welcom user of VRU! - -= 1995-2 =- - -= HAVOC =- The archive was uploaded to AmiNet, but we stopped the archive before it got on-line for reel. (Thanks Urban).
