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

If you find this virus on your system, run VIRUSCAN with the /D
option to delete the infected files.
