MemEater

Description MemEater

It is not a dangerous memory resident boot virus. It hooks INT 13h and writes itself to the boot sectors of floppy disks that are accessed.
While infecting the floppy disk the virus stores in its code the current day and month. While loading from that disk the virus decreases the size of the system memory by 1K, if the system is loading from the floppy disk that has been infected on the same day. In another case the virus decreases the system memory by 2K, and stores new date and month, then by 3K, 4K, e.t.c.
As the result, each day the virus "eats" more system memory, than the day before.
