    Ulog/Dlog V1.8/MsgTOP BBS Viruses:


    PLEASE NOTICE THAT THE ULOG/DLOG  Viruses have the same  filelength
    are many parts of the routines are equal. I am calling this viruses
    "Devil" viruses because I have heard that this viruses were created
    by/for a sysop in the south of Germany with this name.

    Comment 08.04.1993.: I met a friend of him and he told me that more
    than 60 files are infected with the BBS virus from the same author. 
    The last version,which I got, was release V11. Most files  will  be
    recognized by VW as @{"$4eb9 files" link "4eb9" 0}.  

    Due to the fact that I met this person only one time, I  could  not
    get any further information.

    This viruses change the "user.data" File from the /X mailbox system
    in the following way:  The counter(value) for the  account  editing 
    and the SYSOP downloads will be reduced so that most users can play
    with the system.
    This viruses are only dangerous for sysops. They cannot destroy the
    information on the disk.

    The MsgTOP virus will be only recognized, if it is packed with  the
    Imploder(V1.x-V3.x).


    Removal: Kickstart 1.2 & 1.3 : VT-Schutz v3.17
