Lame.98

Description Lame.98

These viruses search for .COM files of current directory and infect them. "Lame.98,173" are overwriting viruses. Other viruses are parasitic ones, they write themselves to the end of the file. These viruses contain the text strings:
"Lame.98": Devastator/PHOBIA Lame virus #1
"Lame.173": Devastator/PHOBIA '95 Lame virus #2
Program too big to fit in memory
"Lame.207": Devastator/PHOBIA Lame virus #3
"Lame.435": Devastator Lame Virus #9
Look, we are being encrypted, yes? A big improvement, but
still very silly
"Lame.538": Devastator Lame Virus #8
We are very simple, no? But we do work, and we do not
corrupt the program we infect, and that is good, yes?
It is also all 100% original code, that has not been
ripped off from anywhere, like so many so called virus
"writers" that seem to appear everywhere with their silly
VCL and MPC generated works of "art"
