Palmer ) Newsgroups: comp.virus Subject: Possible virus on Commodore Message-ID: <0002.9010250749.AA01781@ubu.cert.sei.cmu.edu> Date: 18 Oct 90 21:06:20 GMT Sender: Virus Discussion List Lines: 23 Approved: krvw@sei.cmu.edu Hi. I'm posting this for a friend, Steve. He has a Commodore +4 that he uses for his business but he's been having problems with what appears to be a virus. Steve's problem started with a simple error message when he used one of the utilities. He know tells me that part of the machine language code has been erased. One of the other utilities is now giving him errors also. I have a Commodore 64 that I use a lot and I would like to avoid my friend's problems. Is there an anti-viral program that I could get to get rid of it? Where would I find such software? How much does commercial anti-viral software cost? Any information would be most helpful. Thanx in advance, Karyn Palmer - -- Karyn Palmer KSP8305@ritvax.isc.rit.edu KSP8305@ultb.isc.rit.edu WARNING: Excessive study can cause severe dain bramage.
