Re: KAK VIRUS

[Terry & Heather]

Ha, I don't know about hero, I have worked in the computer industry building LANS and have done so for a very long time (my real job) so i know a bit about what makes a computer system tick. Building Dattos and other makes has always been just a hobby. On that sh*t of a KAK virus, it does look like it comes back again as it happened to me as well. I updated my home system to Win98 SE version that has so called "enhanced web security" and it hasn't returned this time. It's on the Birds list as well, so if your a W98 Edition 1 Outlook user or earlier user beware. I hope there aren't too many more around like it as you have to set AV software with a very heavy overhead (sentinel) to catch it on the way on to your system. cya Terry "Foreshew, Michael, HiServ/AU" wrote: Same deal here, Terry is my hero. -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Woodall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 19 May 2000 10:10 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: KAK VIRUS List,     Regarding the KAK virus, I followed the steps supplied by Terry (Is there anything he cant do?) and sure  enough, I had been infected, and removed it. But on checking lateron, it was back. I dug out my old copy  of ANTI VIRAL TOOLKIT PRO and updated its data base (as of 15/5/00) and it found infected files in the windows/system directory. So guys, if you are infected  then you must check windows/system directory  for abnormal files. Mine was calles 41627c40.hta, so I guess the virus adds numerous files with the hta  extension.     -Wayne --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
