Cagliari family
These are very dangerous memory resident parasitic viruses. They hook INT 21h and write themselves to the end of .COM files that are executed. On May 1st they erase the FAT sectors on disks A, B, C, D and then display the message:
caGLiArI
The similar string is used by virus in its "Are you here?" call - while installing the virus calls INT 21h with AX=FFABh, the memory resident copy returns 'CA', 'GL', 'IA', 'RI' in registers AX,BX,CX,DX. |
