THIS MONTH'S HOT STORIES

HARE VIRUS SET TO STRIKE!

The Hare virus is difficult to
detect and is considered a severe
and highly destructive threat. The
virus is set to strike on August
22nd and September 22nd. On these
dates, Hare will destroy all data on
an infected PC by overwriting the
computer's hard drive.

The Hare virus was first distributed
over the Internet in May of this
year. Since then, two other versions
of the virus have also been
distributed from a variety of
Internet usenet newsgroups. The Hare
virus has been detected in the
United States, Canada and Europe.

Hare first infects the master boot
sector of the PC, and when the PC is
restarted, installs itself into
memory, thereby contaminating .COM
and .EXE files as well as any
mounted floppy diskettes. Hare
avoids detection from traditional
anti-virus software by remaining
dormant within infected files and
slowly changing as it replicates.

Cheyenne Software has posted a free
update for InocuLAN and Cheyenne
AntiVirus that detects and cures the
Hare virus. The company strongly
recommends that users download the
update from Cheyenne's web site and
use it to protect their PCs against
the Hare virus before August 22nd.

LAROUX--FIRST MICROSOFT EXCEL VIRUS

Unlike the Hare Virus, the Laroux
virus is not destructive, but still
can be quite a nuisance and create
panic.
The Laroux virus is the first
reported Microsoft Excel macro
virus. It attaches to and infects
Microsoft Excel documents and once a
document is infected with Laroux,
the virus will infect all future
Excel documents.

Fortunately, Laroux simply creates a
blank worksheet and the virus is
easily detected and prevented with
the latest update from Cheyenne for
InocuLAN or Cheyenne AntiVirus.

NEW ANTIVIRUS AGENTS FOR E-MAIL

E-mail and groupware applications
can be a dangerous breeding ground
for viruses. Rapidly-spreading macro
viruses, such as Concept and Laroux,
are able to reside in documents
within groupware systems and avoid
detection by traditional anti-virus
software.

Cheyenne's new AntiVirus Agents
announced last week enable
organizations to detect and cure
these, and other viruses before they
can infect users.

The Cheyenne AntiVirus Agents work
in conjunction with InocuLAN to
protect Lotus Notes, Microsoft
Exchange Server and Novell GroupWise
applications.

NEW ONLINE SECURITY CENTER
David Stang, noted security expert
at Seven Locks Software, and
Cheyenne Software, have teamed up to
launch a comprehensive online
security center dedicated to
providing the latest information.
A full virus encyclopedia,
anti-virus white papers and an "Ask
the Experts" forum for your security
questions are among the many
features at this site.
