I recently noticed this message. I am new at being listserv sysop. How do you create, check and modify a seleective file filter lists? Von W.

Date: Saturday, December 10, 1994 12:40AM Sorry for the crossposting, but.. I've spotted yet another worm - this time it's called 'EMPIRE EXEC'. Seems to be in Portugese - I got mine from a person in Brazil. It uses the usual 'read the names file one line at a time' code we've seen before, but after it ships itself all over, it then does the following: PUR RDR ALL ERASE * EXEC A ERASE * NOTEBOOK A ERASE * NAMES A As such, it's more destructive than previous ones we've seen - everybody should add this one to their seleective file filter lists as soon as possible and check your systems for any copies that already got loose. (Editorial note - I'm really not thrilled about being the world leader in spotting Bitnet worms. I'm not. Really.) Those who wish copies for study should contact me directly - and don't ask unless I know you in person or by reputation - the 'hacquer lamerz' can forget it. ;) Valdis Kletnieks Computer Systems Engineer Virginia Polytechnic Institute
