               An Introspective Study of Seth Kerker Virus
**************************************************************************

The Seth Kerker virus attaches itself to the bit blocks of your PC's
internal alarm clock, kept alive by the battery cell.  A friend of mine at
MIT had his entire OS/2 system infected by it, and the virus scanner does
little.  Here's why:  The virus becomes "alive" during the blitter/interrupt
update sequence of the clock.  Most memory-management virai can be traced
because they remain in memory.  The Seth Kerker virus actually deletes
itself and re-establishes its bytes in random locations of your bootblocks,
searching first under C: drives, then B:, and finally A:.

My friend at MIT had both disks in his internal drives, as well as his hard
drive, infected.  We're leaning toward accepting that the virus spreads
instantaneously.  When we ran our virus checker and discovered it, the virus
program no longer load.  Quite possibly the virus KNOWS when it is being
detected, and injects itself in the virus checker's memory, as well as
writes itrself onto it's destination path, crippling the virus checker
permanantly.

The good news:  (if there is any)  The virus doesn't seem to do any viable
damage.  It basically lingers, but what represents the danger is that virai
like this are becoming internationally widespread, and sooner or later one
of them WILL become dangerous.  The only way of removing it is to re-install
the batteries of your clock and re-format the hard drive, setting protection
bits to 1 instead of 0, as the virus is so small the internal digital
scanner reads its block as a 0.

The virus is still in its crucial stages... I am constantly monitoring it,
and have given it the name Seth Kerker only because that's the student at
MIT whose computer contained it.  I'll give further updates as soon as I
can.  Feel free to ask me any questions.
