Wormsign.1710
It's a dangerous not memory resident encrypted parasitic virus. It searches for COM-files and writes itself at their ends. Before infection the virus displays the string:
Wormsign !
It leaves the memory resident program that hooks INT 13h, 1Ch, 26h and on accessing to boot sectors it clears the byte in boot sectors that contains the number of disk heads. Some DOS versions halt PC on accessing to such disks. Some time after that program displays the message:
W o r m s i g n !
The virus contains the additional text string:
*** THE SANDWORM *** |
