Hi there,

A friend of mine has aquired an arcade game for his son, what caught
my eyes are the following:

- - when the game starts it displays the message :
    You've got ..K RAM more than ypu need Dude!
- - when I tried to reboot the system( warm boot), it displays the message:
    THAT'S ALL DUDES!
  This message stays on the screen antill another warm boot is performed.
_  XRAY didn't detect any strange activities, and the available anti-virus
  software didn't detect anything.

There is no way to tell if the files sizes are changing, because the disk
is full.

Are these symptoms of a virus (DENZUK variant for instance), or is it
a bad joke from someone who manage to change all the messages on the
disk.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

O. FADEL
