-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Greetings, The windows 2000 resource kit comes with a small tool that will add/remove/list shares on a machine. It is called share.vbs and works on other 2k boxes however I have not yet tried it on windows 9x platforms. It might be worth looking into however obviously the legalities of such actions still remain unfortunately.

"exit" will close the connection but not the QAZ server, while "quit" does appear to shut it down. You can also "run x". Once QAZ has been shutdown, it's also possible to connect to the share and manually delete the infected notepad.exe, although I haven't yet figured out if there's a way to unshare someone's drives remotely via command line (if I did this, I wouldn't be able to get back in to clean the infection).

It would be cool if someone would make a tool that would auto-disinfect users...

Yep. The problem with that is that current laws on the books (in the US at least) make this an illegal solution. If memory serves me correctly, the one I'm thinking about is worded something like: "...any person who without authorization, accesses, modifies, deletes or destroys..." The penalties are pretty stiff too. The best of intentions don't negate the fact that it's illegal. - --- John Fraizer EnterZone, Inc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.8 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQCVAwUBOdT7PG2piax9+cKFAQFVcQQAnfq88CRumG9MBsxGJOYqLX7mdCGoFozj yIPTPohfwSu56Q0ekNecwaHNFKLqfwBZY6LkWZg12Mt5k+ozaPNBv5F4w2sRCEh7 2n1VIdrXqNfczTPpPSmJWFwsY4O7xFWV791oUYhLWTdML13WpErOoLArz1wqwAPa 5AuN1Lw/cNc= =EEXT -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
