5277.1Amiga Computing Has Cure!YOUWOT::LOCKMTue Dec 17 1991 04:238
    Try Reading Januarys Amiga Computing. It has an article about the
    virus, It also recomends a cure for it. Sorry I can`t remember the name
    of it at the moment but I know that they are giving free copies of the
    virus killer away if you send off for it.
     Good luck!

5277.2What killer didn't work?FORTY2::CADWALLADERNot mine... not yours...Tue Dec 17 1991 04:597
Hi,

	What killer did you have? I have just one and am wondering if it
	works or not - it has never seemed to find anything. It's called
	Nuke or "Nuke Saddam"...

5277.3I've find the Answer!LISVAX::FERNANDESNUNO FERNANDES @XIPWed Dec 18 1991 08:1917
    well,
    
    The killer that i mentioned was the VIRUS CHECKER you can't find him in
    the Cover Disk of November's Amiga Computing.
    
    The problem that i've mentioned happens every time because the Virus
    Checker scans every machine code files looking for ascii text, and when
    it find's one he give us 3 chances 1-Remove 2-Display 3-Ignore
    if we do 1 without displayed him first we might been del something that
    is not a virus.
    
    Thanks Jim,

re         <<< Note 5277.3 by LISVAX::FERNANDES "NUNO FERNANDES @XIP" >>>

	I was messing around with BootX last night, it seems to know 
the saddam virus, though I don't know how well it handles it since I 
don't have the virus.....

	well....  there is a possibility that I have the virus, BootX 
only claims to detect it, but doesn't, etc....  (-:   (-:
