Guest guest Posted May 8, 1996 Report Share Posted May 8, 1996 I think these files came as attachment with one of the mailings in this list. They contain iyal saatrumuRai and vaazhi thirunaaman in Tamil script (Adhawin) , for Micro Soft Windows. McAffee Virus scan for Windows 95 reports that they both have "Concept Virus". It looks like DOC files can also contain viruses, since they can contain executable macros and can be invisible while looking at the text. Please Note that Adhawin package checks out OK. So the virus has originated elsewhere. If any of you still have these files in your attach subdirectory, watch out. They do not seem to have done any damage so far. I also suggest the one who sent them out (Dileepan ?) to thoroghly check his system using the latest version of McAfee Virus for Windows 95. It can be down loaded from http://www.cdrom.com/pub/simtelnet/ win95/virus Thanks for the attention. Srinivasan K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
