EA> Hi ALL , hope you are having a nice day
Hi ONE ! ...day and night...
EA> ... He "collects virii." Have any of you ever heard ...?
EA> Anyone ever thought about why one might do this?
EA> go figure...Anyways, straying off the topic. Anyone else do this?
I do !! Why ??? To test my antiviruse programs !
And, with a friend, we did this: ( He has 3 hard disks, 2 active
the 3rd one is in a drawer...)
He disconnected his active/real 2 hard disks, he took the 3rd one
out of the desk, installed it, and we PLAYed a lot and where laughing
like creasy, because of what the virsus did to us, or disk, or files !!
One of them DELETES EVERY program you run; and you are not used to
a ONE time use !!! So you try UNDELETE and bye !!!! It's gone.
We tried that DELETING virus on a protected diskette, and the normal
DOS answer was appearing on screen, because of the locked diskette...
We have tried the famous hard disk FDISK /MBR... It works.
If I remember well, I was at his place around 1:00 PM, and we
experimented till 2:00 AM !!!!!
So that's why WE collect viruses: to practice, and be ready when
one hits our REAL hard drives...
It's very fun, to try them on a drive not normaly used...
you'r not affraid to do/try ANYTHING !!!!
At work, my installed VIRSTOP ( from F_PROT )
catched the ?????.STONED.MONKEY.B virus !!! ...
... and I keeped it... to show to my friend...
So... we allways are at risk !!
Keep scanning, or BEGIN NOW !! 8-) And read a lot on them...
you will know what to do when it happens...
