Derived from: Italian.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is a variation of Italian that is able to infect hard disks.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Some of the characteristics are:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Fairly long time before activation (a number of minutes at least)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* It displays a ball character, not the Diamond Character
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Once activated, the ball bounces around the screen until the system
|
|||
|
|
is shut off.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Formatted system & non-system disks are infected and have the one bad
|
|||
|
|
spot created by the virus.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* When a user attempts to format the hard disk, format scans the disk OK
|
|||
|
|
and then reports that track 0 is bad.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Formatted system floppy disks tend to lock up the PC on boot, and warm
|
|||
|
|
reboot doesn't work.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* The main problem is re-infection and spreading to other machines.
