Name: Michael.145 Category: Viruses Description: Details Michael.1458 This is a very dangerous memory resident encrypted parasitic virus. It hooks INT 9, 17h, and 21h, and writes itself to the end of EXE files that are executed or opened. By hooking INT 17h, the virus terminates printing. Depending on its counter that is increased on each INT 9 call, the virus runs itself by some video effect. Depending on the system time, the virus reboots a computer, and on the 5th of any month, the virus overwrites the data that is saved to a disk with the text: "MICHAEL JACKSON". On October 31st, the virus deletes the files instead of infecting them. The virus contains the text strings: MICHAEL Michael Jackson is the king of pop. His unparalleled work gave us : OFF THE WALL, THRILLER, BAD, DANGEROUS and HISTORY. Michael, it would be nice to see you again in Romania! January 3, 1996 Deva, ROMANIA
