Ionkin Family
Description Ionkin Family
These are harmless nonmemory resident parasitic viruses. They search for x*.COM files ('x' is a random selected letter from 'A' till 'Z', the virus gets that letter depending on the system timer) and then writes itself to the end of the file.
"Ionkin.2372" creates the IONKIN.COM file, writes a trigger routine to that file, and executes it. Being executed this file stays memory resident and from time to time displays (in Russian):
