OS2.MyName
This is a very dangerous, non-memory resident overwriting OS/2 virus. It is the first known virus infecting OS/2 executable files. Upon execution, it obtains the name of the host file, reads its code from there, then searches for NewEXE (LX) files and overwrites them. While infecting a file, the virus uses OS/2 calls:
DosExit DosClose DosFindFirst DosFindNext DosOpen DosGetEnv DosRead
DosWrite
and displays the messages:
My name is
--> infected
The virus also contains the text string:
VIRUS
DOSCALLS
*.EXE |
