The Ohio virus is a boot sector virus first discovered at Ohio State
|
||
University by Terry Reeves in May, 1989. It only infects 360K floppies.
|
||
It will infect any new diskette as soon as the diskette is accessed
|
||
(COPY, DIR, DEL, program load, etc.), similar to the Brain. The virus
|
||
will freeze the system if a <<Ctrl>><<Alt>><<Del>> is pressed and a cold
|
||
boot is then required. When the virus activates, the first copy of the
|
||
FAT becomes corrupted. No other symptoms have been reported.
|
||
|
||
The Ohio virus is similar in many respects to the Den Zuk virus, and
|
||
may be an early version of Den Zuk. A diskette infected with Ohio will be
|
||
immune to infection by the Pakistani Brain virus.
