Quoting from Samid Hoda to All About Jerusalem (Israeli) Virus on 12-20-92 SH> I need some information on the Jerusalem B virus as it has SH> infected almost every single file on my system. Does anyone know how SH> it spreads and how it spreads so fast? Any advice in getting rid of SH> the virus would be appreciated( except for a low level format as that SH> is an obvious option.) Jerusalem B is a file infector. It runs as a TSR, and will infect every executable file you run except for .COM files larger than 62K. I believe the virus is around 1800 bytes long. McAfee's Clean can remove this virus fairly easy to remove. It would be a very good idea to re-boot the computer from a known clean bootable diskette. If you don't have a clean bootable diskette, go ahead and type the following on the command line. CLEAN C: [JERU] after Clean gets finished, turn your computer off for a few seconds, then back on. The reason for this is that since Jerusalem-B runs as TSR. After the computer is clean, make a bootable diskette, then place a write protect tab on the notch. Then the next time you have another virus, you will be ready. I hope this has been of help to you. Bill - --- * WinQwk 2.0 a#383 * CASPER activates Apr 1st
