Multiple sites nationally have reported infection of DOS computers by the Satan Bug virus. This rogue code, which is very difficult to remove, infects all .COM, .EXE, .SYS, and .OVL files on MS-DOS and PC-DOS computers. The virus also damages network drivers, so that an infected machine cannot connect to use network services. McAfee's SCANV 106 and above can detect the Satan Bug virus. You can obtain all McAfee anti-virus utilities via anonymous ftp from ftp.mcafee.com; cd (change directory) to pub/antivirus. For more information, you may wish to contact the Computer Incident Advisory Capability group at (510) 422-8193 or ciac@llnl.gov.
