V.1021

Description V.1021

It is a dangerous memory resident parasitic virus. It hooks INT 21h and writes itself to the end of .COM files that are executed or opened. Depending on the system timer the virus also affects .ZIP and .ARJ files (archives) - the virus writes its code to these files in the same way as for .COM files. As a result the archives stays corrupted. The virus does not manifest itself in any other way.

Rev.4096

Description Rev.4096

It is a dangerous memory resident parasitic polymorphic virus. It hooks INT 21h and writes itself to the end of .COM files that are accessed. The virus uses undocumented DOS calls and as a result does not work under DOS 7 (Windows95). In October on Sundays the virus displays the message:
These things saith he that hold TASM in his right hand and walketh
amongst the FAT tables, boot sectors, and partition tables.
He that hath a VDU, let him see what I typeth unto the users:
I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that whore
software security, and commit anti-virus protection.
Behold, I will cast thou unto limbo, and them that repent their
deeds shall be spared the low-level drive format.
Remember therefore how thou hast recieved and heard, and hold fast,
and repent. If therefore thou shalt not repent, I will come on thee
as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
- Revelation Alpha.

The virus also contains the text strings:
Genesis
Revelation Virus Alpha
Exodus
