Latest Virus Information - 12/11/03 04:39 AM
The latest virus out at the moment is called the Bursted Virus.
The virus arrives in a file "acad.lsp" that is located in the same directory as the AutoCAD drawing files. When the drawing is opened, AutoCAD will automatically load and execute the contents of the "acad.lsp".
The virus copies itself to AutoCAD's Support directory as "acadapp.lsp". The virus also appends the load command to the "acad.lsp" in the Support directory, so the virus will be executed every time when AutoCAD is started.
After that the virus will copy itself to every directory as "acad.lsp" from where the user opens AutoCAD drawings.
Please let other forum members know of any more.
