Derived from: Icelandic II?
|
||
|
||
This virus appears to be derived from the Icelandic-II viruses.
|
||
Modifications include:
|
||
|
||
* When Saratoga copies itself to memory, it modifies the memory block
|
||
so that it appears to belong to the operating system, thus preventing
|
||
reuse of the block.
|
||
|
||
* Like Icelandic-II, this virus can infect programs which have been
|
||
marked Read-Only, though it does not restore the Read-Only attribute
|
||
to the file afterwards.
|
||
|
||
Similar to the Icelandic-II virus, the Saratoga can infect programs
|
||
even if the system has installed an anti-viral TSR which "hooks"
|
||
interrupt 21, such as FluShot+.
