Poem.1825
This is a very dangerous memory resident encrypted parasitic virus. It hooks INT 1, 3 and 21h, and writes itself to the end of COM files that are loaded into the memory. It copies the TSR part into the highest addresses of the 640K RAM, and does not fit the MCB list that may halt the computer. While debugging, or on December 21st, the virus displays:
Void - Composed by Marvin Giskard for T
In a field a million buds stood,
Over them a million days came - a day a bud -
opening up one by one with their directed light.
But one didn't do as others did,
It waited for only your loving rays to shine upon it
to open its pedals revealing the pure beauty of its sincere love.
Never being unfaithful to its dream of the day of your light,
Forced to resist any other light but yours - because of it -
until the day the brilliance of your life sustaining light shines
it will be there : wanting, wishing, waiting.
Many were the buds you rather shined upon
opening them - revealing their phony colours.
I willed your light onto me but others you tried instead,
No subtle motion reached you,
still I refused other's light - holding out for you -
Even when your light will fade,
Not having found one to do your light justice,
mine will still be there : wanting, wishing, waiting.
Press Escape to continue.
The virus then erases the C: drive sectors, and reboots the system. It also contains the text:
