Prowler.1543
Description Prowler.1543
These are relatively harmless, memory resident encrypted multipartite viruses. They infect the MBR of the hard drive and write themselves to the end of COM (except COMMAND.COM) and EXE files that are executed, and the viruses hook INT 21h to do that. The MBR is infected when an infected file is executed. To install the TSR copy while loading from an infected MBR, the viruses also temporarily hook INT 1Ch (timer).
Upon loading from infected MBR on 13th of any month, the viruses manifest themselves as a sound and video effect and display the following message:
I am +he Midnigh+ Pr0wler, s0n 0f +he m00n
And I am the child 0f +he ?? genera+i0nall.
where ?? is virus generation.
Prudents.1205
Description Prudents.1205
This is a very dangerous nonmemory resident parasitic virus. It searches for .EXE files and writes itself to the end of the file. During infection of a file if an error occurs (for example, a response of a resident antiviral monitor during writing to an EXE file) the virus deletes this EXE file. The virus contains the text:
