  Subject: New virus (PC)


  I've found a new virus on PC at the beginning of December, but it

  has been around here at least from the end of June.  I've named that

  virus as 2480 virus, because its size is that.  2480 Virus spreads

  only (I think) if the year is set to 1988 or earlier.  If it is

  later than 1988, infected files will occasionally display the logo

  of European Crackin' Crew (Does anyone know anything about that

  group??) when user executes an infected program.


  2480 Virus adds 2480 bytes to the end of every .COM file it decides

  to infect.  It doesn't infect files very quickly and it seems that

  infection happens only at the certain time.  It will also change the

  last modification time to the time when infection happened but the

  files' dates remain unchanged.  2480 Virus is not memory resident

  and it can easily be noticed because the European Crackin' Crew's

  logo is at the end of every infected .COM file.


  This virus is not detected by the ViruScan V72, but I've sent a copy

  of it to Mr. John McAfee and Fridrik Skulason, so hopely the

  ViruScan V73 and F-Prot 1.14 will find this virus :-)

WHAT THE WATCH TOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA HAD TO SAY ABOUT WHAT WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE HAPPENED in 1874

  AWAKEN                                                     Issue #33   1874 - WHAT THE WATCH TOWER BIBLE AND TRACT SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA        HAD TO SAY ABOUT WHAT WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE HAPPENED THEN.   This issue will comprise mainly of quotes from Watch Tower publications. Present day Jehovah's Witnesses are unlikely to be aware of any of this material. Why ? The Watch Tower had changed it's theology and does not bother to let it's followers know facts about the past especially since the present theology is totally contradictory to what was promoted in the past. Both sets of incompatible conjectures were promoted as being found  and proven in Scriptures. Prior to 1943 if a follower of the Watch Tower questioned any of the Watch Tower's teaching about 1874, that person risked getting kicked out of the group ...
