Viking.1600

Description Viking.1600

This is a benign memory resident parasitic encrypted virus. It traces and hooks INT 21h, then it writes itself to the end of COM and EXE files that are executed, opened or renamed. It searches (by using the string "*.COM *.EXE") for the files and infects them on DOS calls OpenFCB and GetDiskSpace.
This virus contains the string:
CLEAVACCFMAPDIR2BDS.VSHIVIRS
The virus checks the file name for this string before infection. If the first four letters of file name present in that string, the virus does not infects that file. As a result, the files CLEA*.*, VACC*.* FMAP*.*, DIR2*.*, BDS.*, VSHI*.*, VIRS*.* are not infected.
Some generations of the virus displays the message:

The 365th copy of is dedicated to our first anniversary
