snetterton - virus?

by Colin Harri » Fri, 24 Mar 2000 04:00:00

Guys, my InoculateIT virus checker reports that a file in the Snetterton
track (bill_5.mip) is infected with the PeaceKeeper virus. Now, I'm not
saying it's so, and I don't even know what PeaceKeeper virus is or does, but
I just thought you'd like to know.
 I got the track from the GPLEA site, and Bill_5.mip is in the snett_rest
zip.
 Anyone fill me in on this?

Colin,

We've had a few people reort a virus in that file...  but we've checked it
with multiple virus scanners and found nothing.
It seems to me that everone that reported a virus in that file all use the
same Virus-scanner, whilch probably means theres a bug in the scanner
definition files and NOT a virus in the mip-file.

I did a check on that PeaceKeeper virus and from what I can tell it can only
infect executable files (*.exe - *.com), whilch ofcourse a mip isn't.

Thanks for attempting to clear this up, Ed. Could you point me in the
direction of where you read up about peacekeeper? I tried, but found
nothing.

I just scanned all the files with McAfee and found no problems.

Cheers

Norton AntiVirus detects no virus either and according to their info
the Peacekeeper 3800 and Peacekeeper 3830 only infect .exe and .com
files.
