Minosse.3072
Description Minosse.3072
This is a dangerous memory resident parasitic polymorphic virus. It hooks INT 21h, and writes itself to the end of EXE files that are executed. On June 25th, it halts a PC. It contains the text strings:

CAMALEOCODE 4.1 by M.M.M. (c) 1993
Minsk.1075
Description Minsk.1075
It is a dangerous memory resident parasitic virus. It was received from Minsk (Belorussia). The virus hooks INT 21h and writes itself to the end of .COM and .EXE files that are opened. On every 20th reading from .DBF files the virus replaces the real information with the spaces. The virus has a dangerous bug - while executing any infected .EXE file the virus calls INT 15h (21 decimal) instead of INT 21h calls.
