Warniing lots of BBSS have been infected   by Independent (IND)

the junkie virus is a com and boot infecting virus which hasn't made it into mcafee scan and lots of other virus killers. I only found 1 virus killer to get rid of it, called TNT antivirus. The virus infects a non infected computer by first placing itself in the boot sector (1st logical sector) of the primary hard drive. Then the next time you boot off your hard drive, it will be in memory and it will infect EVERY com file you run! So far as I can tell, by looking at the code, the junkie virus does not do any damage to data on a hard drive; it only infects as much as it can. In this zip I have placed 2 programs. The first is a virus remover (clean) which you run on all of your com files to remove the virus. the second is a TSR program which is resident (you place in autoexec.bat) which will stop the machine and flash the screen if the virus is detected in memory trying to spread itself. Once the screen starts flashing, you should reset and then use clean on the file that you ran before the flashing. You can fix the virus infected com files by running clean on them, but if you have junkie in the boot sector, here is how to get rid of it: FDISK /MBR This is an undocumented command in dos 5 (prob also dos 6) which will rewrite the boot sector of the primary partition. Notes on clean: Clean will only clean 1 file at a time. sorry! I havent worked out wildcards. So if you want to check your whole hard drive, go out and buy TNT antivirus. It is the only program I have seen so far that detects this virus.
