- Sensor's Lamer-Defence
-
- This program will destroy the Lamer-Revenge-virus on your disks.
- There are two kinds (by my knowledge!) of the Lamer-Revenge-Virus.
-
- - The first version destroys all your disks present in the diskdrives at
- the time you reset the computer for the 6th time. This virus will
- copy itself on any not write-protected disk. It uses the
- startup-sequence to infect the computer. When an infected disk is
- inserted in an external drive the virus will not be activated (you
- might think that the computer can never be infected by an external
- drive, but you can be wrong!). The virus can not be spotted by a
- virus killer that uses the bootblock. After the virus has done it's
- thing (destroying all your disks) it will display some alerts telling
- you what he things is a joke!. Whell let me tel you that it's no joke!
-
- - The second version of the virus will not destroy your disks entirely.
- But will only create a block containing only the word LAMER!!!. This
- block has a bad checksum. When this has happend and you want to load
- the source of your newly coded demo (which might be the only copy of
- that source) you will get the message VOLUME .... HAS A READ/WRITE
- ERROR and that means you have to start all over again. This version
- is somewhat less agressive than the one mentioned above, but this
- one will also infect the computer when inserted in an external drive.
- This means that no matter where you insert the disk (df0: df1: df2: df3:)
- the computer will be infected.
-
- That was some general information on the Lamer-Revenge-Virus. Now let me
- explain how this killer works.
-
- When you execute the Lamer-Defence program the first thing it will do
- is check the computer for any resident program. When it has spotted one it
- will display the following message:
-
- Resident program found in memory, might be a virus!
- press return to force a cold reset.
-
- There is no way to avoid this reset because it refuses to work with any
- resident program in the system.(this means you should not use any virus-
- killers beside this one).
-
- When no warning is given and you used the -l option (this will be explained
- later on!) it will ask you to insert a disk in the drive you have choosen.
- When you have done this, wait a until the drive has stopped spinning.
- Only then press return!. This waiting is done because of the way the second
- Revenge virus works (with this virus it will take a bit longer for the drive
- to stop spinning, because the virus must be activated first!). When the
- second virus is found it will instandly be removed from the disk. When this
- has happend the computer will state that the virus was detected as the
- disk-validator, because the computer has been infected and i don't want any
- disks to be destroyed you must press enter to force a cold reset. I know
- that this is not the best way but is was the only way. When you want to
- check another disk and you were forced to reset you must start all over
- again. NEVER and i repeat NEVER use [ctrl amiga amiga] to reset the computer
- when you are asked to press return to force a cold reset, because when you
- do press [ctrl amiga amiga] the virus will still be active.
-
- When you want to use this utility to check for the second virus you must
- remember de following:
-
- start it as follows: ld df?: -l (never forget the -l !!!)
- never insert a disk before the program asks for one!!
- always wait until the drives stop spinning!!
-
- When you want it to check for the first virus you can start it up with or
- without the -l option. By the way the -l option stands for LOOP.
-
- Some general information:
-
- some notes for those who want to put this utility on their
- utility-disk: Add a disk-configuration to your disk. But be
- sure that it isn't a Lamer-Revenge-Virus (use this util ??).
-
- When the second virus was found and killed it will still be in the
- 'l' directory named Lamer_Revenge_Virus. Delete it or add it to
- your collection of virusses!. But never execute it!!.
-
- When the utility is on the original disk(that is the disk i made)
- you will find the following programs:
- - an original disk-validator (you need it to validate the
- disinfected disks!)(second virus!)
- - dir : to look in the directory L
- - type : to type the startup-sequence of a possible infected disk
- (first version of the lamer-revenge-virus) look for an
- empty line in the startup-sequence because the name of that
- virus is " " (five alternated spaces(alt+5*spc))
- - delete : to delete the Lamer_Revenge_Virus in the directory L
- don't bother to delete the disk-validator while the
- virus is active it won't work.
- - LD.DOC : this documentation file
- - LD : the virus killer (short for Lamer-Defence)
- It also containes a bootblock that spots every virus in memory but
- one. The one that it cannot spot is the first Lamer-Revenge-Virus.
-
- You notice the presence of the second virus by putting a unvalidated disk in
- your drive without a disk-validator on it, normally the computer will state:
-
- unable to load disk-validator
- use diskdoctor etc. etc.
-
- But now it doesn't do that because when ever the computer searches for
- the disk-validator it finds the virus and doesn't inform you that the
- disk-validator can't be found.
-
- I hope i have informed you in time of these new virusses. I don't think they
- have spread much, because i noticed them in an early stage. But be sure to
- check your disks(programming disks!) for a possible virus.
- I used my own kickstart to find them. This kickstart recognises
- every virus. Interested ?. Come to our copy party and ask me a copy.
- (this one is better than our RIPKICK !).
-
- Greetings from SPY of SENSOR.
-
- PS. I think a person who writes a virus deserves to be called
- the most misunderstood person that ever set foot on earth! (I like to
- keep it nice!) further more i think that the person who writes the
- LAMER virusses is in fact himself the biggest LAMER!!!
- One just isn't enough, right JM?
