Lately the HitchHiker 3.00 linkvirus appeared and everybody
was searching for an installer. One day for the release of
VirusWorkshop 6.2 the archiv patchhh.lzx with the following
File_ID.DIZ arrived at my place:
PatchHH 1.0 by ZIB. This anti-virus util
will stop the propagation of all known
Hitch-Hiker viri. (1.10/2.01/3.00).
Not THAT user-friendly but it was made in
a fucking hurry.....(So no local support
! :))
...
I was very surprised, because ZIB was the fourth name in the
dedicated list of HitchHiker 3.00 and I don`t know that person.
The document looks like this:
-----------------------------
Here's a little utility that will stop the propagation of the Hitch-Hiker
virus series (currently 1.10/2.01/3.00).
This proggy will write $ABBAFAB4 into Exec's LastAlert so the viri mentioned
above will not start their devious work. When a version of HH is already
active you'll get a warning.
It's better of course to get the latest virus-killer. Like VirusZ or VT,
however at the time I wrote this proggy only VT recognised 2.01 and none of
them 3.00. Hope I spared you a lot of probs with this proggy :)
ZIB.
Sounds like a viruskiller. In reality some names of C: programms will be
decrypted (including the string United ForceS...WHY ALWAYS UFO ????) and
this files will be infected from this nasty linkvirus.
Detection tested 20.07.1996.
