There could be another virus in .scr format also in the d or e section.
Might be worth a check just in case. |

Can't find any .scr file in D or E right now. If you spot it, let me know.

 )Edit1: Yep, here's the link: http://users.mikrotec.com/umed/elfbowl.htm I've no idea (not interested) whether the executable on that page is infected. Edit2: Also found this link regarding the Elf Bowling Virus Hoax (not sure if it's the same as the W32 Virus.CF, but I would guess not): http://www.hoax-slayer.com/elf-bowling-hoax.html Last edited by prowler; 29 July 2011 at 22:34. |
