Jabb Family
There are not dangerous memory resident encrypted parasitic viruses. They hook INT 21h. The infected files contain the texts "JW1" or "JW2" at the beginning, and "JW0" at the virus entry point.
"Jabb.812" writes itself to the end of COM and EXE files. It converts EXE files to COM format (see "VASCINA").
"Jabb.615" infects only COM files. The virus displays:
BEWARE THE JABBERWOCK! HI SOLLY. THIS IS A 100% BRITISH PRODUCT
Jabb.1000
That virus write itself to the beginning of COM files. Sometimes it decrypts and displays the message:
Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
It also hooks INT 09h (keyboard) and if the "jos" string is entered, the virus displays:
ILIESCU
It also contains the strings:
JABBERWOCKY ( ), the first Romanian Political Virussian
