2477.0. "VIRUSX" by FSCORE::KAYE (He who dies with the most toys is dead) Thu Apr 13 1989 08:43

    I listened to a talk by Steve Tibbet last night at the local Amiga
    club about viruses. The latest official release by Steve is VIRUSX3.2,
    however, there are 2 clones (clowns) going around the BBS's called
    VIRUSX3.3 - THESE ARE NOT FROM STEVE! One appears to be 3.1 relabeled
    to be 3.3, but the other is actually a virus and will infect your
    disks when it says it is cleaning them. As a result of this he will
    not release a VIRUSX3.3, the next official release will be either
    3.4 or 4.0. He is hoping to go to a data file for virus types so
    that he only has to release that and not the entire show...
    Please pass on the word, AVOID VIRUSX3.3!

    PS He receives 3-4 disks a week. He currently has at least 5 new
    viruses for the next version.

Thanks for the info.  

I didn't see VirusX3.2 anywhere on the new (maybe didn't look hard enough), so
I picked up a copy from a friend.  I put it in NORSE::AMIGA:[Upload].  I'm
running it,and it APPEARS to really BE VIRUSX.  

BTW, who do we send mail to when we upload to Norse?  I've forgotten.
