Description Andry.2900
It is a dangerous memory resident parasitic virus. It hooks INT 9, 21h and writes itself to the end of COM and EXE files that are executed. After infecting a file the virus attempts to infect the COMMAND.COM file in the root directory on the current disk.
The virus has errors and infects files two and more times. It also installs itself in the memory so many times as infected programs are executed. As a result in some time DOS memory will be occupied by virus copy and the system will not load any application.
By hooking INT 9 (keyboard) the virus depending "eats" each 100th keystroke. On March 1st the virus displays the message:
