This virus was first reported in October, 1989 by Uval Tal in Israel.
|
||
It infects the first COM file in the current directory, and will
|
||
re-infect it again and again. It infects no other files, and causes no
|
||
other damage.
|
||
|
||
It has been called the "stupid" virus because it is so ineffectual
|
||
compared to other viruses. For instance:
|
||
|
||
* It always installs in memory in the same location, at address
|
||
9800:100H
|
||
|
||
* Any program which attempts to use this memory location destroys the
|
||
memory-resident copy of the virus.
|
||
|
||
* It can only infect systems with 640K of memory.
|
||
|
||
* It can not reach across directories.
|
||
|
||
* It cannot determine if the file it is infecting has previously been
|
||
infected.
|
||
|
||
* It does no apparent damage to anything but the first COM file in a
|
||
directory.
