This is a very dangerous memory resident encrypted multipartite virus. When an infected file is executed, the virus decrypts itself, hooks INT 13h and 21h, and returns control to the host program. While loading from an infected floppy disk, the virus hooks INT 12h and 13h, and waits for the DOS loading process and hooks INT 21h.
The virus then writes itself to the end of COM and EXE files that are executed or loaded as overlays or for debugging. Upon accessing 1.4Mb-floppy disks, the virus infects their boot sectors.
On April 26th, the virus erases the MBR of the hard drive and displays the following message:
