"Energy" is a dangerous memory resident boot stealth virus. It writes itself to the MBR of the hard drive and to boot sectors of floppy disks. While infecting the hard drive the virus stuffs the 'Y' key into the keyboard buffer to fool BIOS virus protection. The virus has bugs in floppy disk infection routine - it infects correctly only 1.4M floppy disks and corrupts data on 360K, 720K and 1.2M disks. To run its infection and stealth routines the virus hooks INT 8, 13h, 2Fh.
In one month after infection the virus displays the message:
INT 13h points to => xxxx:xxxx Virus detected! (c) 1997 »-» ˇEnergy!
Boot anti-virus! For details & upgrades call : Tel: (401) 778.08.48
where "xxxx:xxxx" is the address of INT 13h handler.
