  I apparently have run across the Kamikaze virus... I downloaded a
file called UUEXE.ZIP at FTP location MSDOS.ARCHIVE.UMICH.EDU in the
directory /archive/msdos/unix.  When I ran F-FCHK on the two .EXE
files that were in the archive, the file UUDECODE.EXE caused the
message 'This file is infected with Kamikaze' to appear.  I could find
no desc.  of this virus in any of the three virus description files
included with F-PROT.  Does this FTP location *NOT* check its files
for viruses?
  Any info on this virus would be appreciated (was it a fluke?)...
