Warning from Raven/SR/WTU to all PCBoard sysops bout a trojan horse.


Ok guyz there seems to be some twat out there out to fuck us sysops up !
Some one has taken alot of trouble over this one I think.  Theres a file
goin around called SPOTV100.ZIP which is suposedly an upload checker for
PCB 15.0+.  Now ive been lookin for a good one for ages and this seemed 
to have all the right features I was lookin for.  So I followed all the
setup options and ran the CFG program.  Notice that there are no viruses
in the EXE progs with this.  Anyway once I finally completed my install
I ran PCB and tried a test upload of a simple ZIP file.  I started to get
suspisious as it was takin along time with the drive running at such a 
abnormally continuous speed so I fort what with all the latest viruses I
ought to stop.  I found that I was unable to quit in any usual ways and 
I had to reboot my computer.  On return to the pcb directory I found ALL
files had been deleted.  I then found that all files in all directories in
my PPL directory had been deleted. Now the guy who wrote this really aint
got much up there cause his deleting methods are rather simple.  Thus I 
was able to carry out an UNDELETE command which took quite a while in each
directory but turned out to undelete almost 80 % of my files which I was 
pleased with (notice that I had no backup cause im still makin my bbs).
Anyway I hope I`ve saved a few sysop`s drives outa there. I have included
a capture of the FILE_ID.DIZ that accompanies this file :
