(PC) Message-ID: <0004.9006291346.AA11905@ubu.cert.sei.cmu.edu> Date: 28 Jun 90 06:50:00 GMT Sender: Virus Discussion List Lines: 25 Approved: krvw@sei.cmu.edu I'm new to this group, but I thought I'd put the word out so others don't get their computers infected. I recently bought a I/O - floppy drive controller card (SUPER MULTI I/O) from Jems Computers in San Jose, California. Along with it came a floppy with the setup programs for the clock/cal. It turns out that it was infected with the Jerusalm-B virus. Unfortunately, I didn't find out until it had infected about 40% of my .EXE and .COM files. I called them and they said that the disk came with the card from the manufactuer. I would be VERY careful with any software that comes from there...mind you I'm not saying not to buy from there (the card and the 1.44M drive I recieved are excellent) but just check out the software extra carefully. We now return you to the regularly scheduled programming. FF ******************************************************************************* A.
