Kuang11 Virus

I am not going to use my website as a virus posting center, but some of them need to be spread to help my fellow Amigians.

This virus is attached to file in the Kuang11 archive. Check your systems and good luck.


Kuang11Update.readme 2.34 (5.2.99) Kuang11 Update changes

All Kuang Eleven users who have received an update in the past few weeks are at

Two viruses have been released via the update server attached                  
to different versions of the library rexxkuang11.library                       
(normally placed in LIBS:), and also affecting the file C:Mount.

Solution

You should have received version 0.37 (or later) of rexxkuang11.library        
with this update. You should verify this by typing:                            

Version LIBS:rexxkuang11.library FILE FULL                                     

You should get the response:                                                   

rexxkuang11.library 0.37 ( 5/02/99)                                            

or a later version.                                                            

� Reboot your system (if possible, do NOT go online).                          
� Replace the file C:Mount from your original disks, or some other             
  reliable source.                                                             
� Reboot AGAIN.                                                                

If you have any copies of rexxkuang11.library versions 0.27 and 0.36,          
they should be deleted, as these were never legitimately uploaded to the       
update server.                                                                 

Explanation
