Not the most impressive virus around and its caught by just about every scan on the market, but take PKLite to it and then remove the PKLite header (Use NOLITE in this issue) and no one will be able to find it. Anyway it gets the job done. To make the above hex into a working file, first cut on the dotted lines. Name the resulting file KENNEDY.TXT. Then: DEBUG < KENNEDY.TXT and you'll have a working virus. -Instigator
