In addition to the information in the original message it must be added that the virus removes "Brain" and "Ohio" from diskettes, replacing them with copies of itself. The virus changes the volume label into Y.C.1.E.R.P, but as YC1ERP is the call-sign of a radio-amateur in Bandung, Indonesia, he is suspected of being the author. Both viruses are not able to format 1.2M or 3.5" diskettes properly - damaging the contents instead - the claim that "No damage come from this virus." is far from being correct. > * MARDI BROS Reported in France, and originally believed to have been written there. This virus contains the text "sudah ada vaksin" (Vaccine already exists), which I recently asked about. > * AMOEBA This virus has been known for some time, and detection/disinfection programs are available. > * MYSTIK This virus is known under the name of "Liberty". Detection and disinfection programs are available. > * PC CLUB > * AREMA > * SEMLOHE and KEONGZ > * PC MONSTAR > * ROBERT/NARWIN > * SUPERNOVA > * FREDDY None of those viruses are yet known in the West - maybe we can expect a flood of Indonesian viruses soon..... :-( - -frisk
