ToolsDaemon 2.2 Fake Virus:
Filelength of the mainprogramm: 7128 bytes
Filelenght of the new written file: 784 bytes
The mainprogramm, a ToolsDeaemon with linked virus, installs
a process ("Background_Process") and writes a new file
("S:mount") to disc. This file and the process contain a
very strong routine, which reduces all filelengths from the
devices df0,hd0,sys,ram,df1,df2 to 42 bytes ( You remember:
Douglas Adams "Hitchhikers Guide through Gala...").
Such destruction routines have been seen in the public at eg.
PP bomb and so on. So think about a good and actual backup !
