Nostardamus.5995
This is a very dangerous memory resident polymorphic parasitic virus. It hooks 21h and writes itself to the end of COM and EXE files that are accessed.
Depending on the system timer and its internal counters this virus also hooks INT 10h, or INT 16h, or INT 1Ch (depending on the virus version) and manifests itself by several effects: it corrupts the files, erases the disk sectors, changes the keystrokes that are entered, displays the message:
HOME RUN !!!
The viruses also display:
