     Comments     : It claims to be a registrator for the  cracked version of
                    AmiExpress 3.9. I have heard that AmiExpress 3.9 does not
                    need a keyfile.So what`s this ?

                    Oh,a new little very LAME destroyerprogramm for the  /X-system.
                    It destroys following files:
                    bbs:user.data
                    bbs:user.key
                    bbs:utils/express

     Info         : The document for this virus looks like this:
                    "Note:
                    This Stuff is quite easy to install...
                    extract all stuff to ram: and copy the dir contents into your own..
                    first run AeRegist.exe after that run convertdb to convert the old
                    ami-express conf.db into the V3.9 conf.db
                    (this will clean up the msg base also)
                    Thx for your attention, have fun !!"
