F-Trickl Description

F-TRICKL is a small and easy to use removal utility that will help you detect and disinfect the Tentatrickle virus. This DOS-based virus was found in the wild in September 1996.The virus infects only DOS executables (MZ). The virus adds a new segment to the executable and modifies the structure of the file. The author of this virus also wrote the Tentacle and Shell viruses. Symptoms Tentacle causes no obvious symptoms, except slowing the PC down (the infection process is slow). For this reason it is recommended that suspect PCs be scanned using the F-TRICKL utility. Usage Run F-TRICKL with the drive letter of directory as a parameter. For example: F-TRICKL C: F-TRICKL Z:USERS If F-TRICKL finds the virus, you will be notified. Then, type F-TRICKL /DISINF, and F-TRICKL will disinfect any infected files.
