New Virus Warning?
This was just circulated internally to us, it may only apply to our network but just in case: - E-mail users are propagating a hoax message that warns users of permanent hard disk destruction and the removal of all Dynamic Link Libraries (DLL files) if they open an e-mail called FAMILY PICTURES. Virus Administrator requests that all e-mail users delete and not propagate this e-mail, which is a hoax virus warning. The subject line of this hoax message reads: Attention all Internet Users.

Re: New Virus [loveBug copy] *.*
Opps, my bad. I made a typo. What I meant to say, is IMHO Randy Adkins, the guy who flames some one who posted a virus alert to cf-talk, is a moron. Is that better? Did I spell it right? I apologize to the community for wasting people time with this, but just pisses me off that this guy Randy thinks that he has the right to tell cftalk users not to post things like virus alerts to the list. That's just plain stupid. Am I way out of line here??

Re: Imp Atten: New Virus Info
It's the "erase everything on your harddrive" that always clues me in. A virus would have to be running to erase something and it can't erase something that is running, therefore it can't erase itself (or the programs required to run it). Any warning that says it erases everything must be inexact (read incorrect) and that calls into question the validity of the message.

Any warning that says it erases everything must be inexact (read incorrect) and that calls into question the validity of the message. Actually that's not exactly true. Files can be queued for deletion when they are no longer being shared (used). A file can also delete itself in this fashion (that's why you are asked to reboot after you uninstall certian software programs). You could have all your files queued up and once you reboot, they would be gone. I've never actually seen something like this in action but it is theoretically possible. The best protection is to... all together now "not open untrusted attachments" and also to read your email using plain text. Using HTML email is not a very safe practice if you are concerned with viruses. I also have my Nortons set to update my virus definitions every morning. By the time I got the LOVEBUG message, I already had the fix for it. I could write a "proof of concept" app in VB if anyone wants to test this...;-) Steve -- Archives: http://www.eGroups.com/list/cf-talk To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=listsbody=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Not that I'm going to try delete it to check Besides, the deletion method that you're talking about would require windows, since it is windows that controls the deletion. That would still be programs necessary to delete the virus.

You could have all your files queued up and once you reboot, they would be gone. I've never actually seen something like this in action but it is theoretically possible. Well, to be accurate, command.com would have to be able to delete itself, wouldn't it? Not that I'm going to try delete it to check Besides, the deletion method that you're talking about would require windows, since it is windows that controls the deletion. That would still be programs necessary to delete the virus. But I think this topic is pretty much dead anyway. -- Archives: http://www.eGroups.com/list/cf-talk To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=listsbody=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.

You can delete your command.com file right now and it will throw it into the recycle bin like any other file... try it (you can then restore it again). I thought command.com was just a gateway to DOS from the Windows environment anyway. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. It's a safe bet that if you can think it, it can be done. -- Archives: http://www.eGroups.com/list/cf-talk To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=listsbody=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
