                           1. "39 38 39 38 4F 45 4F 52 61 59

Type of infection...: The virus infects only COM-files with less

                      than 30 KB; it does not infect COMMAND.COM,

                      IBMBIO.COM, IBMDOS.COM.

                      1301 bytes of the virus-code are written

                      in front of and 31 bytes are written behind

                      the original code; files are only infected once,

                      because the virus checks the existence of its

                      signature (808h) at the beginning of the file.


Infection Trigger...: When an infected file is started, the virus

                      tries to infect 5 COM-files on default drive.

                      "FUCK YOU LAMER !!!! (CRLF)  system halted..."

                      and stops system by jumping into an endless

                      loop.  The message is encoded in the program.

                      by creating a check-sum of the first 144 words.

                      When the check-sum is incorrect (# 46A3h) the

                      damaging part of the virus is activated.
