Virus Help Denmark: Hitch-Hiker v5.00 linkvirus found
We have found the installer of the new 'Hitch-Hiker 5.00' linkvirus.

There is "NO" cure for this virus right now. You can find infected files, but you will have to replace the infected files with new clean files. The 'Hitch-Hiker v5.00' virus will add 3732 bytes to every infected file, and place itself in memory, so you will have to watch out for that as well. This virus will infect anything that it can get into. And on my test A1200 over 400 files were infected in under 3 minutes.

This virus comes from Poland again, just like the other viruses that we have found in the last 6 month. But why don't you guys program something useful that everyone can enjoy?

In the code (decoded), you can read:

Hitch-Hiker Millenium (5.00)
Featuring the 1's Advanced V8sA Op'miz Code
A welcom user of VRU!
-= 1995-2 =-
-= HAVOC =-

The archive was uploaded to AmiNet, but we stopped the archive before it got online for reel. (Thanks Urban).

This is what we know of the virus:

Virus type.... : Linkvirus
Virus name.... : Hitch-Hiker 5.00 (Millenium)
Virus size.... : 3732 bytes
Archive name.. : WBCycle21.lha
Archive size.. : 25.818 bytes (lha packed)
Installer name : WBCycle
Installer size : 22.756 bytes
Archive info.. : Cycles a single WB colour to pretty up Windows.

This is a fake archive. The programmer of 'WBCycle', Steve Hargreaves has not released an update of WBCycle since v1.0.

There might just be more installers of the 'Hitch-Hiker 5.00' virus out there. If you find anything please send it to us.

The 'xvs.library' (external Virus Scanner library) will be updated as soon as possible. In the meantime, take care ...

Thanks to Thomas Klein for sending the archive to us.

Mailbox: Uphold The Law BBS online again!
The pure demoscene BBS "Uphold The Law" is after two days delay and the restoration of the destroyed user data online again. Especially a lot of German callers who had seen the IP in the Amiga News asked for access to the illegal areas of the mailbox. Those don't exist here, and they will never exist! Those looking for pirated software or not willing to leave their phone number can save the effort asking. With the private phone number, the sysop tries to protect himself from anonymous crackers.

GFX-BASE: Review of the ArtEffect Plug-In CD-ROM and more
At the GFX-BASE you can read a review of the newly released plug-in CD-ROM for ArtEffect. We have taken a look at the new possibilities, describe the installation and the use of the plug-ins in practice (including a hint for WinUAE users).

There have been other changes to the GFX-BASE as well: it's now possible to search through our news archive and all tutorials published so far were translated into French by our new member, Alexandre Balaban. (ps) (Translation: rh)

Virus: New Trojan virus found
A new trojan has been found today. This trojan says that it will make a key-file that will work with over 250 programs. Well, I guess that there are someone that will fall for this kind of program. The trojan will delete every file that has the "key" in the name of the file, in your S:, Libs:, Devs: and L:.

This is what we know of the trojan:

Virus Type.... : Trojan
Trojan name... : MZ-MAKEY trojan
Trojan size... : 34.548 bytes (packed with StoneCracker)
Trojan size... : ? (we have not been able to unpack the file)
Archive name.. : MZ-MAKEY.lha
Archive size.. : 34.734 bytes (lha packed)


Archive info.. :

=====================

programs you want
100% tested with more
of 250 programs!

     xxxxx
ØØØØØøøøøøøøøØØØØØØØØ

(VHT-DK has removed the name and replaced it with 'xxxxxxxxx')

Don't trust programs like this, use your common sense before you try stupid programs like this.......

The xvs.library package will be released very soon.....

Thanks to 'Golds' for sending the archive, and to JEO for the test of the archive.

Individual Computers "Offline"
Jens Schönfeld, known to many Amiga freaks by his "Individual Computers" company, was involved to a serious road accident, this morning.

It is to expect that support questions, etc. will not be replied for some days or weeks. After convalesce he will report his return himself, which hopefully will be soon. (ps) (Translation: mj)

Emulator: Today UAE-Jit celebrates 1. anniversary
Today Bernd ´Bernie´ Meyer writes on c.s.a.m.:
I did not want to elapse the anniversary completely unnoticed...Today it is one year ago when I announced the very first, slow and rather hacked version of UAE-JIT on comp.sys.amiga.misc which additionally was very bugy. You can find the original posting on Google.

What a year...

Celebrating the day I have composed a site with Amithlon-benchmarks.

It is very interesting to compare the amounts of that time with the ones of today. Now the Celeron333 is a pure developing computer which works under the Celeron566 in the computer room via M-JPEG-Card as a video recorder and therefore I could unfortunately not use both computers for benchmarking...

Take the champagne, celebrate and a threefold hurrah for UAE-JIT...

Bernie (ps) (Translation: dr)

AdvoGraf: At full trottle into the grit
Michael Schumacher, the popular Ferrari race driver, queues to the squad of admonishers. He considers the domain michas-formel1-site.de, carried by Michael "Micha" Stanka, to violate his name rights.

AdvoGraf smugly wrote: "At first the questions is, which part of name is to be violated, cause "Michael" rather is a collective term for male Germans than an individual identity feature - and to call someone Michael "Micha" neither is much inventive nor seldom. And that the Ferrari pilot has "Formel 1" for his second (first) name at least was hidden from the author, up to now."

Complete AdvoGraf article (German) under the title link.
