Events - File KILLDISK - to monitor the cross and the drive was killed ...

 EVENT --==< "GOOD" PROGRAM >==-- 04



From Brom:
Good people! This is what is going on, on my drive were the 
files that I downloaded in 3 days. And today (ie, 14. 05.97) at 
05.40, I call on HAMER bbs and download the file from there 
KILLDISK (no infrmatsii that today's server I have not found) 
Well I downloaded it, went on END'u and went to take a nap, but 
sleep does not wanted. I decided to see what I siphoned out 
there. I type: RUN "KILLDISK", paying no attention to the name, 
and download ego.Nu and myself go (as all normal people) to 
wash. Well, what I see when I go back? Nothing! My computer 
reset. Boot and run my eyes get out of their sockets on the 
monitor painted cross. Well this is manslaughter. 2455 sectors 
away to nowhere, and even this did not backup directory, malo 
coefficient of nasty "programm" zaportila the entire disk and I 
did not even helped FUT. I had to re-format the drive. And 
after all that, I want to loudly asked: "What a freak came up 
with this program? P.S. All this is described above actually 
took place 14.5.1997. 

WW:
Here is a cri de coeur. Then of course the opinions were 
divided. Well, firstly, the question arises, why download prog 
in the title of which clearly says "Disk Kill" / Kill (ruin, 
destroy or ruin) CD /? If it really wants to check what it 
does, we rewrite it do not want to drive and see how many you 
want, well, at least, cover the write protec. But from a moral 
point of view, it certainly zapadlo. I remember Nikiforov, 
wrote in the rules of use bbs, quote: ".. not to upload to 
drive programs that vyddut having worked on the inscription 
screen Disk Error ...". But someone has violated this rule ... 
Who could it be ?....
