Need info on newer virus

*Damned Angel* · January 9th, 2001, 01:15 PM

anyone ever run across Dark_matter.744.b . I can't seem to find any useful info on any of the major av company pages. All I can find is pages saying that I should download the latest av updates to remove it....but I need to know what it does first!!!

Norton doesn't show how to fix it but
It infects the .COM Files
Likelihood is common
Length is 744 bytes

That's all it says about it

This is a file infector virus. Infects .com and .exe files, and you might have reload the files.
