Countermeasures successful: --- Standard means......: FindViru, F-Prot, Scan (etc) --------------------- Acknowledgement ---------------------------------- Location............: Virus Test Center, University Hamburg, FRG Classification by...: Daniel Loeffler Documentation by....: Daniel Loeffler Date................: January 25, 1993 Information Source..: Reverse-Engineering of virus code .
