| Another variant of the infamous Chernobyl virus was discovered recently. This Virus, called Win32 Kriz, is similar to the CIH (nicknamed 'Chernobyl') Virus: It will destroy the Flash BIOS memory, and destroy all available hard drives. |

AntiViral toolkit pro (available from Central Command) detects and removes this virus. A free time-limited version of AVP can be downloaded here: http://www.avp.com.

Kriz is considered more dangerous than the original CIH. It infects .EXE files, .SCR (screen saver) files and the kernel32.dll file. It runs and replicates under Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT. On December 25th, this virus will erase the CMOS memory, overwrites data in all available drives, and trash the Flash BIOS memory using the routine used in the original CIH (Chernobyl) Virus.
The Virus is memory resident, and once it infects kernel32.dll it will remain resident for the entire windows session.
