Lapiddan.457
Description Lapiddan.457
These viruses infect SYS files, and write themselves to the end of the file. The viruses stay memory resident as device drivers that are loaded into the system memory during DOS installation. To infect the files the viruses hook INT 21h.
The viruses do not change driver's Strategy and Interrupt addresses, but correct the NextDevice field - they save the offset of the virus code into there. As a result DOS loads any infected file as two different device drivers.
