`08.Dec.2001` Jan Andersen (ML)	Virus Help Denmark: two new viruses discovered 1. Two archives found on Aminet contain a new trojan. They are said to be AGA demos but if you run these demos on a PC using 'WinUAE' your system will be deleted. These demos come from a Polish demo group. Why they would program something like this, I don't know. This is some info about the two archives: Trojan name... : AME-DSD Trojan (name might be changed later) Trojan file... : dsd-main Trojan size... : 93.924 bytes Trojan archive : AME-DSD.lha Archive size.. : 6.927.166 bytes Archive info.. : Dog Star Descends by Amnesty (CGX&AHI compatible) Trojan name... : PSL-KMJ Trojan (name might be changed later) Trojan file... : main Trojan size... : 49.308 bytes Trojan archive : PSL-KMJ.lha Archive size.. : 5.530.365 bytes Archive info.. : Kiss My Jazz by Pic Saint Loup (AGA/CGX) In the code for these archives you can read: ------------ Code start ----------------------- Warning!!! UAE System for lamers detected!!! - System will reboot after mouse button... run c:delete s:startup-sequence force quiet >NIL: ------------ Code end ------------------------- It is not legal to release destructive programs to the public, and we will see what we can do with this. In almost every country the programmer of such destructive programs can go to jail for this kind of programming. The xvs.library package will be released very soon..... Thanks to 'Urban' for the info about the archive. 2. A new linkvirus has been found a few days ago, we are not sure if this virus is in the wild. It was send directly to Zbigniew Trzcionkowski (the programmer of Safe). Zbigniew received one infected file. This new virus is a clone of the "Bobek-2" linkvirus and is named "Bobek-3". This is able to disable the antivirus programs. We do not know if this virus was released in any way, so if you get a requester popping up, telling you that something is trying to disable the xvs.library, please let us know. This is what we know of the virus: Virus name: Bobek-3 Virus Type: Linkvirus Virus size: about 2.000 bytes (uses polmorphic engine) Well, it looks like the Polish virus group is back in action. But maybe not for long. Things will happen very soon. Thanks to 'Zbigniew' for sending the archive. (ps) [News message: 08.

`07.Dec.2001` Ralf Steines	Back2Roots.org: Friday, 7th december offline On Friday, 7th December 2001, at about 11:00 GMT Back to the Roots will temporarily go offline, since we upgrade the server's harddisks, memory and operating system. If all performs well it should be back online in less than one day, and should allow our future updates and services to be even more massive :) Sorry for the inconvenience.

`06.Dec.2001` Olaf Köbnik (E-Mail)	Amiga Arena: Interview with the Scalos team und special price project Amiga Arena - Interview Project With the Workbench replacement "Scalos" a good alternative for the Amiga and your very own desktop. The acitve and steady further development or support makes "Scalos" getting more and more extensive and multifunctional. The Amiga Arena talked to the entire team of "Scalos" about past, present, and future. Amiga Arena - AmiATLAS 6 Update Special Price From now on all registered AmiATLAS 5 users can take the special price for AmiATLAS 6 (wihtout the term of the registered additional maps). The programs "X-Trace", "MicroPaint", and "MicroBase" are available at the respective special price thru 31. December 2001. Amiga Arena - The fire still burns After hardware problems and an internal rework of the hompage, now it should not be a problem to display the "Amiga Arena" with the "Voyager" browser, any more.

`06.Dec.2001` AROS-ML	AROS News: Success and reverse »I just got a mail from the kind guys who provide us with free web and ftp space. AROS finally seems to have made it. We had over 10GB of downloads last month and that means, I have to take the FTP space down... (What kind of smiley is suitable for this ???). So if you have lots of bandwidth to spare, call me :-) Until then, FTP is down. I'm in contact with Urban Mueller of Aminet but I guess he won't want to check in AROS images every night ;-) So maybe there will be an update just once per month or so. Thanks go to the tireless AROS developers who have made us so attractive and to all the fans who still hold on to their beloved system :-) The images will come back, promised. And you will see the V1.0 of AROS :-)« (ps) [News message: 06. Dec. 2001, 12:35] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
