Spy Emergency - Catholic Virus
http://www.spy-emergency.com/research/V/Virus.DOS.Catholic.html
Did you know there's even a Catholic computer virus?!
|
VIRUS NAME: |
Catholic
1129 Resident COM -files |
Catholic is a resident parasitic infector of COM files. It was found
from Finland in the spring of 1994.
When an infected file is executed the virus goes resident in
memory, decreasing the amount of available DOS memory by
approximately 2300 bytes.
All COM files that are executed or opened (for example, copied)
will be infected by the virus. Infected files grow by 1,129 bytes.
This
change in file size is not visible when the virus is resident in
memory. The virus does not infect EXE files that have been
renamed to have COM extension.
The virus is encrypted with a S-bit key. Underneath the
encryption
part of the following text can be seen:
May The Peace Be With You....
