I have just finished disassembling a virus that was found in our
company that is called KILLER DISK by Computer OGRE. If anyone has been
infected by this virus drop me a line. I have written a program that
will detect and remove the virus from any floppy or hard disk. In
addition I have extracted the algorithm neccessary to undo the damage
if the virus attacks the hard disk. The virus takes about 48 hours
of computer use before attacking. In the mean time it transfers itself
to ANY floppy that is read or written from the infected machine.

If anyone has any comments or questions please let me know.


Thanks
James Reeves
