SR NEWS: PKZIP V3.0 TROJAN There is a PKzip V3 Trojan PKWARE, makers of the popular PKZIP and PKunzip programs, have confirmed that someone has uploaded a bogus PKzip V3. This version reportedly erases all data on the hard drive when executed. One report said that it did this when unzipped but this is not correct. These programs do not contain a virus but a very destructive trojan. The file names reported are PKZ300B.EXE and PK300B.ZIP. Do not use these programs. PKzip 2.04g is the officially released version of PKzip. (There is apparently also a PKzip 2.06 in limited release but we suggest you check with PKware if you are unsure of the legitimacy of your release of PKzip.) Copyright © 1995 Stiller Research.
