BG.1348

Description BG.1348

This is a benign memory resident encrypted parasitic virus. It hooks INT 8 and 21h, and writes itself to the end of EXE files that are executed or renamed. In April, the virus returns wrong data upon GetTime DOS call. In January, it displays the following message:
Seems so simple now
Now that the sky is clear
Maybe the road was tough
But at last we're here
I've nothing to hide from you
Nothing to explain
Just this vision of broken wing
And the raven cries in painall
Enter the name of song:
The virus then waits for some input, calculates its CRC and halts the computer if CRC is wrong.
Depending on its internal counters, the virus drops letters on the screen and runs itself with a video effect.

Description not-virus:Joke.Win32.JepRuss
Jep/Russ is a joke program - it is not a virus or a Trojan program. It displays too scaring messages that can really frighten users. When this program launches it displays a standard message window with the text:
Please Wait. Initialisingall

In a moment it displays a dialog box with the following text:
Confirm Folder Delete
Are you sure you want to delete the folder [Windows] and all its contents ?
[Yes] [No]

The '[Windows]' reference designates the directory where Windows is installed. Regardless of a user's reaction, including sitting motionless afraid to touch any key, the program then displays the standard Explorer and 'File Deleting' windows and proceeds to emulate the file and folder deletion process. When the fake display indicates 'no files remaining', 'Jeb/Russ' displays the standard Windows shut-down menu with disabled (gray) [No] button and the following text:
Shut Down Windows
Windows has detected there is no system software on your computer

(*) Shut down the computer?
( ) Restart the computer?
( ) Close all programs and log on as a different user?

[Yes] [No] [Cancel]

The below message is then displayed:
Thank god this is only a game...

Note: The detection process for this joke program has been added to AVP database.
