W32.Kriz Virus Removal Utility
The destructive W32.Kriz virus is set to launch on Christmas day on any system where it resides. The virus has a dangerous payload that triggers on December 25th of any year. The payload is designed to overwrite files on the floppy disk drive, hard drive, RAM drive, and network drives. It also clears the information stored on the BIOS.
This tool is a preventive measure against the W32.Kriz virus. It will not repair damage done after the virus has been launched, but will remove it if found before deployment. Anti-virus definitions dated September 1, 1999, or later, will detect and clean this virus.
Many virus writers enjoy using the holidays as the "trigger" date for their malicious programs to launch. W32.Kriz was discovered over a year ago, but has not been widely spread until recently. A high number of damage reports are expected on Dec 25th due to this virus. The payload is similar to the infamous CIH virus that triggered on April 26th, 1999.
This tool will only work if your computer is restarted in DOS mode. It will not work correctly in a DOS window in Windows 95/98, Windows NT, or Windows 2000.
Directions:
After unzipping the file, reboot into DOS mode, change to the directory where
you unzipped fixkriz.exe, and type the following at the command-line prompt:
"fixkriz path" (where "path"
represents the drive or directory where the files are to be scanned)
Alternately, users may type the following (instead of the path) to scan all
drives except for floppies; for example, "fixkriz /a"
The scan will take approximately 5-10 minutes,
depending on the size of the hard drive
After the scan is completed, some statistics will be shown. Statistics may vary,
but will be displayed in the following format:
Scanned: XX, infected: XX, repaired: XX
To remove W32.Kriz:
Start the computer with a clean DOS boot disk
Scan and repair any found infected files
Replace unrepairable files with a known, clean backup, including KERNEL32.DLL
Delete KRIZED.TT6 if it is found on the computer
NAV 3.0 for DOS and Windows, Engine Update
If your version of Norton AntiVirus 3.0 for DOS and Windows 3.1 is dated before June 1, 1996, you should update it with this patch.

Applying this patch will ensure that your installation will continue to accept the latest--and largest--virus definition files. Using older versions of Norton AntiVirus can cause false detections when the new virus definitions are installed.
