|
||
|
||
History: The virus was first detected in Vienna in December, 1987. In
|
||
April, 1988, this virus surfaced in Moscow at a children's summer
|
||
computer camp run by UNESCO. Someone who didn't know of its prior
|
||
existence in Austria gave it the name DOS-62, presumably because its
|
||
method of indicating an already infected file is to set the seconds field
|
||
of the time entry of the file to 62.<Note: Contributed by Y. Radai.>
|
||
|
||
Description of Operation: This virus is a memory resident virus. It
|
||
infects COM files (including COMMAND.COM) as they are loaded and
|
||
executed. The infected files increase in size by approximately 648
|
||
bytes. Some infected programs will not run.
|
||
|
||
The first three bytes of the program are stored in the virus, and
|
||
replaced by a branch to the beginning of the virus. The virus looks for,
|
||
and infects, one COM file - either in the current directory or in one of
|
||
the directories on the PATH.
|
||
|
||
One in eight files infected does not get a copy of the virus.
|
||
Instead the first five bytes of the program are replaced by a far jump to
|
||
the BIOS initialization routine. That is, in one out of eight attempted
|
||
infections, the system will perform a warm reboot when the infected
|
||
program is run.
|
||
|
||
Removal: To remove the virus, follow the instructions provided for the
|
||
Jerusalem virus or run M-VIENNA.
