I just return from a trip to Australia, and while looking through some of
|
||
|
|
the local computer magazines I spotted an interesting article in MEGACOMP,
|
||
|
|
an Aussie mag for the Amiga. The following is a letter submitted by "The
|
||
|
|
Fallen Angel".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As a member of the POISON (Australian) Cracking Association, I would like
|
||
|
|
to comment on how well you have covered the subjectof viruses on the Amiga.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Every comment you have made on each virus is 100% correct. But I would
|
||
|
|
like to point out htat after you said it might have been the MOVERS who made
|
||
|
|
the Byte Bandit Virus, I got in contact with them, and the MOVERS did not
|
||
|
|
make the Byte Bandit Virus.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This got me asking around other Crackers to find out who had been
|
||
|
|
responsible, and eventually I found out who made it: it was the SCA again!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
They made the Byte Bandit Virus as a follow up to the SCA Virus, because
|
||
|
|
after they came out with the SCA, other cracking and hacking associations
|
||
|
|
said that they (SCA) only had the know how to make a harmless virus. Man,
|
||
|
|
did they prove EVERYONE Wrong!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With the Byte Bandit, the SCA had now made the most damaging virus known
|
||
|
|
to AMIGA users throughout the world!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
They also said that there was no need now for them to make any more
|
||
|
|
viruses, as they had proved their point. They have invented Virus Killers
|
||
|
|
to make up for creating the viruses.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you don't have a Virus Killer, you can still test your disks for the
|
||
|
|
SCA virus by holding donw the left mouse button when you boot up your disks.
|
||
|
|
If you have a virus, your color screen will show a flash of GREEN for a
|
||
|
|
short time, until it gets to the DOS screen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I am not sure if this works with the Byte Bandit virus, as when I caught
|
||
|
|
it, I killed it with VACCINE 2.0 straight away. The best virus killing disk
|
||
|
|
at the moment is from Discovery Software International. It is called VIP
|
||
|
|
VIRUS INFECTION PROTECTION. In Australia it costs $79, and you can buy it
|
||
|
|
in most computer shops.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have the Byte Bandit Virus, and you are working on something, the
|
||
|
|
virus may very well crash the machine, leaving you with all your hard work
|
||
|
|
LOST. I'm going to tell you something HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL which only a very
|
||
|
|
few Cracking Teams know about. (Credit should go to the POISON CRACKING
|
||
|
|
TEAM, Australia.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the Byte Bandit crashes your computer, hold down the LEFT ALT, LEFT
|
||
|
|
AMIGA, SPACE BAR< RIGHT AMIGA< and RIGHT ALT keys all at the same time.
|
||
|
|
This will give you back your Amiga just long enough (six minutes) to save
|
||
|
|
your work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have the Revenge Virus in memory, you can kill it by plugging a
|
||
|
|
joystick into port two, and holding down the fire button while re-booting.
|
||
|
|
To confirm that the virus has been killed in the memory of your Amiga, the
|
||
|
|
screen will turn RED.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the Byte-Warrior Virus is in memory and you put an infected SCA Virus
|
||
|
|
disk in the drive, the power light will flash and you will hear a beep.
|
||
|
|
This is the "tune" you mentioned in your virus story.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The INSTALL command in workbench can kill 90% of the viruses around
|
||
|
|
today. But first, turn OFF you Amiga and make sure you put in a clean
|
||
|
|
(non-virus infected) disk.

I hope this article will help some Virus infected user out there...
