DAN.WMA.451

Description DAN.WMA.451

It is a dangerous memory resident multipartite virus. While executing an infected file the virus infects the MBR of the hard drive and returns to DOS. The virus stays memory resident while loading from infected disk (the virus also infects the MBR while loading from infected floppy). The virus hooks INT 13h, waits for DOS loading, then hooks INT 21h and writes itself to the end of COM files that are executed. While accessing to floppy disks the virus overwrites the boot sector. The virus has the bugs, and can halt the system while infecting a floppy disk. The virus contains the text string:
