Short: The First Saddam Killer and Repair Author: RAM (Holland) Uploader: aminet aminet net Type: util/virus Architecture: m68k-amigaos Schwarzkopf-Killer (1990) ========================= - works ONLY with Kick 1.2/1.3 - the Saddam Virus (Disk-Validator) works also ONLY with Kick 1.2/1.3 MfG anonymous SCHWARZKOPF:THE SADDAM VIRUSKILLER by RAM..... The story of viruses is not over. Viruses get better and better programmed each time. This little program is able to keep the SADDAM virus (also known as the IRAK virus) out of your memory and your disks. In the contrary to the now available killers this killer will also REPAIR your Saddam infected disk!!! The other killers simply leave you with a damaged disk which you can not always use again. Its usage is very simple: 'runback sk' or just click its icon in WB. If you now insert a disk, schwarzkopf will check whether it is infected. If so, it will enlarge its window and start repeairing the disk sector by sector. If this is happening, it is wise not to insert any new disks because then the virus can still sneak in. Just wait until the repairs are done and then insert the next disk. Of course you can also keep your disk on writeprotect, then it will not be repaired, but if it is infected it still will be told. After the repairs are done, you will find that the Disk-Validator has been renamed to «««Saddam»»». This is your old Saddam virus, just simply delete it or leave it their, it does not work anymore. Programmers info: The virus is activated by the fault in the rootblock, there the bitmap pointer is zero! The second bitmappointer holds the right bitmap position. Because that is the case, the Disk-Validator is loaded which holds the virus. This virus changes the BeginIO and Close of the trackdisk.device, it changes the coldcapture and the VERTB of the execstructure. It also changes other things upon reset, but it sets these back. It alters data sectors to IRAK sectors RAM (yeah I changed my name from Dr.Who to RAM). Lijnbaanstr. 1E9 9711 RT Groningen Holland 050-133513 (NO SWAPPING!!)
