>> What is the last virus for windows 95?
The answer is simple. Windows 95 is in fact the "last" in Windows 95
viruses. The signs are clear:
* The program attempts to replicate itself onto all systems in
sight, using a novel and unique algorithm that co-opts broadcast-
media servers around the world to aid in its propagation.
* The Windows 95 virus wipes out all existing operating systems
on your hard disk.
* Once it has taken over the hard disk it is *extremely* difficult
to remove. The consensus is that the only way to eradicate it
is to perform a low-level format of the disk.
Symptoms of the Windows 95 virus:
* Extremely sluggish system response
* Applications software starts exhibiting gratuitous failure
modes
* The system sends peculiar network packets. The virus is
particularly hostile towards remote systems connected via
PPP links.
