I have some serious doubts about this whole thing - too many things just don't add up. 1) First, they don't give a detailed account of the mechanics of this supposed virus, what files and processes it affects and how. 2) This is supposedly based on the Win32 virus - that virus, by definition, can only attack Windows derivatives and related applications. 3) If it attacks linux, which means it can attack an operating environment that is POSIX compliant and has SysV-derived structures, why is it described as NOT affecting Unix? 4) Why do I get a complete blank when I search for "simile" at www.cert.org? -- burns _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
