  CHRISTMAS VIOLATOR VIRUS


  There has been a hacked version of Omen Technology's DSZ ZMODEM

  External File Protocol Module called DSZ1203.ZIP.  The DSZ file

  inside is infected with a new variant of the Violator virus known as

  the Christmas Violator or Violator-B4 virus.  The virus contains a

  an ASCII message from a group called RABID and contains a Christmas

  Greeting.  It is not known what else the virus does.


  The following search string can be used by VIRUSCAN with the /EXT

  switch to check for the virus:


     "51 ba ? ? fc 8b f2 81 c6 9b 11 bf 00 01 b9 03 00" Christmas

     Violator


  If you find this virus on your system, run VIRUSCAN with the /D

  option to delete the infected files.
