Msg 46634 is 17 line(s) on 04/19/94 from PAUL STREETER
|
|
to ALL re: VIRUS
|
|
|
|
Has anyone heard of a virus that apparently gets into the master boot record
|
|
of the hard disk and then does little damage except make the computer act as
|
|
though the A: drive is seriously in need of replacement. Two machines in my
|
|
office have been infected by it, one of them twice. They are COMPAQ Prol's
|
|
and it was COMPAQ customer support that suspected it was a virus and talked
|
|
me through the diagnosis and fix. The MICROSOFT antivirus did not find
|
|
anything. The diagnosis confirmation was to do CHKDSK and observe that the
|
|
line near the bottom that should say "655360 bytes total memory" instead
|
|
had a figure about 2K lower than that. The fix was to boot from a (write
|
|
protected) floppy and then run FDISK /MBR also from the floppy. /MBR means
|
|
write a new master boot record on the C: drive. This works, but COMPAQ does
|
|
not know the source of the virus and I have become curious, especially since
|
|
a few people in my office don't believe it is a virus.
|
|
|
|
Little damage is perhaps an under assessment of the results. The "bad" drive
|
|
messes up the FAT of any floppy it writes on. NORTON can fix it if you are
|
|
quick and lucky.
