--------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 171 VIRUS INFO Ref: E5I00001 Date: 05/12/97 From: DON HANN Time: 09:17pm \/To: RAYMOND LAU (Read 1 times) Subj: Virus checker I won't bother quoting your message but I'm sure you will understand my response. No, I am not the moderator and neither are you. Do not tell me I am off topic when I am 100% on topic. Note the other posts regarding your response. Icons? I don't really care. I am not Windows literate... I can get around in them but that's all. Now, if you want to talk DOS, then I can bump heads with you. Now, you are off topic but it isn't my place to tell you. A computer programmer friend? Who cares? This is a hobby to me and I run a good clean board, family oriented, general messages and no adult stuff. I turned on this message area to help my users just like the message I posted regarding a virus and an anti-virus program which you decided was off topic. I don't care about your friends, windows or anything else but virus discussions in this echo. Your opinions and thoughts regarding viruses downloaded from the net (which I already know about) are important to everyone in this echo but the rest of your conversation is trash. Let it drop, Raymond or you'll be in for the ride of your life. I'm probably a lot older than you, have seen a lot of things and you are no worthy competition so forget the little innuendos, jabs, barbs and comments that are uncalled for and off topic. Enjoy this hobby and let others do the same. --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: The Message Center, Jacksonville FL (Healed) (1:112/115) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 171 VIRUS INFO Ref: E5I00002 Date: 05/12/97 From: DON HANN Time: 09:17pm \/To: MODERATOR (Read 1 times) Subj: Previous Message I apologize to you and the other readers for the previous message. I responded in kind to a "gentleman" who seems to want to start something and I consider it ended as of now. However, if I am responded to in a similar manner as his last post and you do not step in to squelch this "gentleman" then I will respond in a similar manner. I have no desire to trash any echo, especially this one. This is a good echo with worthwhile information and not an echo for trash chatter. Thank you. --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: The Message Center, Jacksonville FL (Healed) (1:112/115) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 171 VIRUS INFO Ref: E5I00003 Date: 05/05/97 From: SHAUN BUDDING Time: 08:52pm \/To: MALCOLM YOUNG (Read 1 times) Subj: Re: List of Viruses MY> The McAfee scan will display a virus list with /VIRLIST which you MY> could redirect the list to a file.

It's used to check that anti-virus programs are working properly - f you write it to a file, and scan that file, then the programs that support it (most) will report some variation of EICAR_TEST_STRING. The clever bit is that it's actually executable. --- FMail 1.22 * Origin: Song to the stars. (2:440/410.6)
