This virus caught some of us by surprise; some of us were asked why we had
not put out some sort of "warning" or reminder or tips on how to avoid.
These questions open up lots of other questions about responsibility.
Whatever. How did some of you handle this particular virus?
I'm sharing the following activities from
Colby and hope the informtion may be helpful to someone.
the ITS team used Tiramisu to recover most files, experiments
with directory recovery utilities like MBR32 were not fully successful.
Currently, to help students retrieve papers, we're following this
procedure:
starting up the machine with a windows 95 boot disk
then using Tiramisu to recover files
The files are recoverd to a zip disk
Then the zip disk is connected to a machine and
scanned for viruses using norton ....it finds viruses and removes
them ,next we've burned CD's (pc format) since there are to many files
to fit on a floppy.
The student then picks up the CD and is shown how to use it,
copying files to a floppy to revise/work with them.
Once we have all the documents retrieved then we will start working on
reformatting machines. There may be some problem machines that will take
longer but we hope to have most machines completed by tomorrow.
