Hi All..... 06.06.97
Well, another linkvirus has seen the daylight. It is a new version of the
known "HitchHicker",the new virus has been named HitchHicker 4.11. If you
look inside the infected file, within the first 100 bytes you can find a
text saying "CopyCat Decruncher V1.01", this file is infected with this
new string of "HitchHicker 4" link-virus. At this time the only killer to
remove this sucker is Heiner Schneegold's 'VT v2.95' viruskiller. But I'm
sure that the other major viruskillers, will find it in the next update.
The first known archive with this virus in it is: MAPUS200.LZX
