Hi, your virus infection looks to be authentic. Power pump is a dos virus. I suspect whoever packaged the dosemu package is infected with Power pump. You might want to inform the proper people of the virus you found, and let your virus program remove the virus before doing anything else with it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Snow" <alex_snow@xxxxxxx> To: "speakup" <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2004 8:24 PM Subject: dosemu freedos tarball contains virus? > Hello all.
