I thought that this message would be good info for all ST users.
This is a message that has appeared on several BBS's here in
Southeastern Michigan.

Virus Warning!!!!!!


This is a warning being sent out to ALL ATARI ST users...there is a desk
accesory called DIGI.ACC that has been uplaoded to MANY Michigan BBS's.



The Sysop of the Digital Delay(313-546-4410) was going back through his file
section trying out old files, he tried DIGI.ACC, its a digital clock that
was uploaded by a new Atari ST user(i have not seen him before, and i am
knowledgeable of the few ST users out there, although i can always be
wrong), the acc when activated, opens a small window(2X5 cm) with a clock
in it, and the name Uhri at the top (The "U" has a double dot above it),
sometime during its running, it destroys the disk, apparently attacking
the FAT, the sysop (Kieth Troesch) was running it, went to drive A and
found nothing on it, with a disk editor (Michtron Utilities) he found
nothing in the boot track, i was curious, D/L'ed it, and ran it left it
to sit, after a while, with not mcuh happening, we continued chatting
on the BBS, when i logged off, i checked the disk to find nothing
wrong, i then called another BBS to put a message up about a "possible"
virus, i then again checked my disk, a terminal disk that i was testing
it on (i backed it up first), it contained the following files:

Vanterm<foler> Vanterm.cfg
               Vanterm.prg
D_edit<Folder> D_edit.TOS
Maxidisk<Folder> Maxidisk.prg
Macromse.acc
trasnfer.acc
digi.acc
STtrubo.acc


When i did a Directory, i got Data on disk drive A not responnding, i checked
twice, trying dir's from diffent programs, and the desktop, with no
luck of finding anthing at all, i checked it with DLII by Simon Poole
and the FAT table was Bad.


Since i was on-line for so long, i do not know how long it took for it to go
off (the virus), but it definetly did go off.


So beware of DIGI.ACC, if you see it on a BBS, inform the SysOp of the
situation, or if you have, take great caution in its use, or delete it
all together.



If you have any questions about this, i can be reached on the following BBS's:

Digital Delay(313-546-4410)
Bloom County(313-582-0888)
The Island(313-675-5888)
Cosmic STomper(547-0440, semi private system, must have password active)
Downriver Outpost(675-4660)


Sorry, no Bitnet, Bix, or Compuserve address...

-Eric Connelly, Co-Sysop of the Digital Delay, Atari sysop of the Island,
Atari Co-sysop at Bloom County.
