Alain: Let me rant, first off, about this immature
individual who gets his kicks by calling himself 'The
Black Knight', and polluting cyberspace with stupid
pranks. Don't you have anything better
(eg.constructive) to do with your time? Life is too
short. Why add un-necessary difficulties to the
existing ones that plague us every day?
> Anthony: This is, plain and simple, a trojan horse.

Alain: Semantics .. semantics .. either way, we have
to get rid of the damned thing. It has infected
hundreds of my stacks, on both my servers. I bought
Norton AntiVirus a little while back. It readily
identifies the merryxmas whatever and purges it 90% of
the time. Stacks purge nicely, but HC-standalones
don't. The bottom-line is that I am going to have to
un-binhex, un-compress, un-zip all of the UFP/FreeCard
archives, and run a thorough virus-check. Any item
that cannot be purged of its virus will be trashed. My
FreeCard backups on CDROM shall be considered tainted
from now on.
