Re: AS/400 gets infected by WINDOWS NT VIRUS!!!

Sounds like you might want to check for PTF's.  Head out to the PTF site
http://as400service.rochester.ibm.com/supporthome.nsf/Document/10000016
and search for QNTC.  I found a bunch of hits.  maybe one of them fixes the
"virus".

Ok folks, this is one for the history books ...

I just had an AS/400 get infected by the WINDOWS NT VIRUS!  And I'm not
talking about the INS/IPCS/FISIOP!

How you ask...

I was playing around with the /NTC file system and was able to connect it
to
one of our NT Servers... but I was UNABLE to disconnect it.

No mater what I did, I could not figure out a way to get it disconnected
...
so I figured the NT server had effected the AS/400's behavior and did what
you would normally do to fix a NT system.  I rebooted it.

Lo-and-behold ... after an IPL, the AS/400 was back to normal.

btw: The VIRUS in question was "WINDOWS NT".  Quite insidious, IMHO.
