Subject: JV Virus... We are a group of student of the 'Universidad de Santiago de Chile' with a special interest, 'Computer Viruses'. Our investigations are oriented on the Jerusalem Virus (also known as the 'Hebrew University Virus'), since that JV only has come at this moment. Due to circumstances of the educational ambient, we want to protect our works and resources. We are disassembling the greater part of the JV. If you are interested in our work and you have information too, we would can to join efforts for to learn of the viruses instead of to be prejudiced for its and so to direct this knowledges for good road. Pedro Sepulveda J., Universidad de Santiago de Chile -------------------- Date: Sat, 22 Oct 88 19:27:04 EDT From: SSAT@PACEVM It seems to me that on a pc type system the following steps should stop the viruses that are floating. 1) Make command.com and system files READ-ONLY. 2) Use FLUSHOT (direct from author) 3) Use common sense. The combination of the 3 steps above just caught a virus in a copy of Norton Commander someone sent to me. This is a new and nasty virus and you will hear more as soon as I get the time. -------------------- *** end of Virus-L issue ***
