Amos Joshua Trojan

Hi All....
A new trojan have been found on Aminet today. But it has been removed,
but this might have been spread, so take care...
The trojan will after it has been executed, replace the 'c:loadwb' with
a new 'loadwb' with the size of 84.772 bytes, and create a file in your
wbstartup drawer called "Workbench" (size 40.668 bytes, packed), and now
the trojan is ready to 'play' with your Amiga. You can find this text-
string in the file:
GuRuX mEdItAtIoNz: [JoShUa`S tRoJaN]`/AdDrEzZ: [yOuR ComPuTeR]
TaZk: [SyStEm KiLlEr]
MoRe iNfOrMaTiOn: ZoMbIe@pAlA.zZn.CoM
This trojan is made with AMOS, and it is a lame trojan.....
