Infections by this family > of viruses are very rare and we would not consider this virus > to be 'in the wild'. ELF/Obsidian-E was first discovered in > March 2000 and displays the following characteristics: This > virus walks through the PATH and infects all ELF binary > executables which the user has enough rights to write to. If > the superuser (root) starts an infected program, it will > block both infection and starting of the host program and > display the message "Hell no! Do not run this as root!". > > If you require any further information, please don't hesitate > to contact me. </end> -- ...................... ..... Jason C. Leach ..
