For those looking to cleanup after the virus that's been hitting IIS lately, I got this information from the langalist newsletter (you can sign up at http://www.langa.com). Yikes!! I know enough about virus detection to be dangerous, but those McAfee instructions for cleaning up after s i r c a m are a mess!! First, it says to rename REGEDIT.EXE, and then gives instructions to COPY (*not* rename) it. Renaming it would be pointless, in any case. Next, there's a zillion-step procedure for cleaning up the Registry. Guaranteed to confuse the hell out of anyone who reads it. I'm putting some much- simplified instructions in my next newsletter, but FWIW, you'll find the whole works in a little zip file at http://www.woram.com/zips/surkam.zip [The misspelling of s i r c a m is deliberate, so this item won't run afoul of hyperactive email filters. And please note that John's site has recently come under attack by malicious Chinese hackers; the site may be occasionally slow or unavailable.] The whole shebang (including a README.TXT file) is a tad under 3 Kbytes. Also, McAfee forgot about erasing a few critical files. Regards, John Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
