1. What is Fizzer?
   Fizzer is a computer virus that infects all 32-bit (95 and newer) version of Microsoft Windows. The worm includes many "features", including the ability to connect to IRC servers.
2. Who is the Fizzer Task Force?
   The Fizzer Task Force is a large collection of individuals from over 80 IRC networks working together to try to hold back or destroy this worm.
3. Where can I find the Fizzer Task Force?
   We have collected ourselves together on a small IRC network, irc.realmnet.com. Please ask someone to be invited in to #fizzer when you get there.
4. I cannot join #fizzer! It asks me for a key.
   To join the channel, you must be invited. To be invited, change your nickname to the format nick[network], ie Bob[DALnet], to indicate where you are from. Then type /names #fizzer to get a list of the users in the channel. Ask one of the operators (@ in front of name) to invite you in, and you should be invited in to the channel shortly.
5. How do I identify the Fizzer bots?
   All of the bots can be identified on your IRC network because of a pattern used in their identification. When you /whois a bot, you will see information such as:
   zACHAr1 is ~AngeliBla@nf83.d821aberd.someisp.com * Blake Angeli
   In this example, you can see that the user name "Blake Angeli" is used to generate the ident, "AngeliBla". All of the bots use this same convention.
6. My network is full of the worm bots! How can I get rid of them?
   There are several methods, each with their own advantages and disadvantages, to remove the Fizzer worm bots from your network.
   • G-line or AKill the bots (really not recommended because you are just passing your problem to another admin)
   • Point irc.yournetwork.com to a "dummy ircd", which sends a NOTICE to the connector to connect to irc2.yournetwork.com, which will be your real round-robin DNS for now. There are a million ways to implement this "dummy ircd". On Mysteria they just wrote it in BASH. The Fizzer Task Force site contains links to C programs that work, and the BASH script from Mysteria.
   • You can crash the virus itself by sending a message to them (including in channel, private, and even in the topic), containing 001PING , such as 001PING 111111111111. For reasons yet unknown, this causes most of them to crash.
7. The bots are all gone from my network! Is it over?
   No, it's probably not over. This will likely last for a very long time. If you remove the bots from your network, they will usually just connect elsewhere, since the bot restarts itself.
