Description PHP.Virdrus
This is one of the few currently known viruses which infect PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor scripting language) script programs.
The virus only operates in systems that have PHP-interpreter installed.
When launched, the virus searches the current directory for PHP files and infects them by writing itself the the beginning of each file.
Before infecting a file, the virus searches it for the text string
