  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.
