HitchHicker 4.11 linkvirus

...........................  VIRUS HELP DENMARK  ........................

Hi All.....                                                      06.06.97

Well, another linkvirus has seen the daylight. It is a new version of the
known "HitchHicker",the new virus has been named HitchHicker 4.11. If you
look inside the infected file,  within the first 100 bytes you can find a
text saying  "CopyCat Decruncher V1.01",  this file is infected with this
new string of "HitchHicker 4" link-virus. At this time the only killer to
remove this sucker is Heiner Schneegold's 'VT v2.95' viruskiller. But I'm
sure that the other major viruskillers, will find it in the next update.
