????????????????????????????????? ? THE VIRUS INFORMER ? ? your weekly virus newsletter ? "Worthy to be pinned-up on one's wall!' ? by Mark E. Bishop and ? ? Alan Bechtold ? ????????????????????????????????? CHAPTER 5: 'THE VIRUS LIST' The following is the McAfee Associates VIRUS CHARACTERISTIC chart the comes with every VIRUSCAN program. This list is for version 93 of SCAN. Please note, this information is copyrighted by McAfee Associates and all rights are reserved. The virus names are on the left side. Please note the if you ran Scan and you see a name like [7S] that name is listed below in its full title as 'The SEVENTH SON' virus. To remove one of the listed viruses below, you may use the /D option which overwrites and deletes the infected file, but CLEAN 93 was made to also do this and recover the infected data. NEXT WEEK we will discuss CLEAN (the counterpart and partner of SCAN) in more detail. If you use the SCAN /D option, please note that this will DELETE the infected file. In short, if you get a virus that has invaded your COMMAND.COM file, you're going to have to REPLACE that file from your original DOS diskette or your computer probably won't reboot! Here's the list of viruses, what they do, and how to remove: VIRUS CHARACTERISTICS LIST V91 Copyright 1989-1992 by McAfee Associates All Rights Reserved. TEL 1-(408) 988-3832 The following list outlines the major characteristics of the known IBM PC and compatible virus strains identified by SCAN. The number of known variants of each virus is also listed. This number is listed in parenthesis beside the name of the strain. The total number of known viruses is summed at the end of the list. The Clean-Up virus I.D. code is included in brackets. ========================================================================== A Infects Fixed Disk Partition Table-A-------------------+ 9 Infects Fixed Disk Boot Sector-----9-----------------+ | 8 Infects Floppy Diskette Boot-------8---------------+ | | 7 Infects Overlay Files--------------7-------------+ | | | 6 Infects EXE Files------------------6-----------+ | | | | 5 Infects COM files------------------5---------+ | | | | | 4 Infects COMMAND.COM----------------4-------+ | | | | | | 3 Virus Installs Self in Memory------3-----+ | | | | | | | 2 Virus Uses Self-Encryption---------2---+ | | | | | | | | 1 Virus Uses STEALTH Techniques------1-+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Increase in | | | | | | | | | | Infected | | | | | | | | | | Program's | | | | | | | | | | Size 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A | | | | | | | | | | | | Virus Disinfector V V V V V V V V V V V Damage ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # 1 [N1] Clean-Up . . x x x . . . . . 11240 O 1008 [1008] Clean-Up . x x x x . . . . . 1008 O P D L 1014 [Vienna] Clean-Up . . x x x . . . . . 1014 O P L 1024 (2) [Alf] Clean-Up . . x x x . . . . . 1024 O P 1024PSRC [PS10] Clean-Up . . x x x . . . . . 1024 O 1030 [G4] Clean-Up . . x . . x x . . . 1030 O P L 1067 [1067] Clean-Up . . x x x . . . . . 1067 O P L 1210 [1210] Clean-Up . . x . x . . . . . 1210 O P L 1241 [1241] Clean-Up . . x x x . . . . . 1241 L O P 1244 [1244] Clean-Up . . x . x x x . . . 1244 L O P 1253 - Boot [1253] M-Disk . . x . . . . x x x N/A B O PDL 1253 - COM [1253] Clean-Up . . x x x . . . . . 1253 O P D L 1260 (4) [V2P2] Clean-Up . x . . x . . . . . 1260 P 1280 [Crime-B] Clean-Up . x . . x . . . . . 1168 P F 1376 [1376] Clean-Up . . x x x x x . . . 1376 O P L 1381 [1381] Clean-Up . . . . . x x . . . 1381 O P 1385 [1385] Clean-Up . . x x x . . . . . 1385 O P L 1392 [1392] Clean-Up . . x x x x . . . . 1392 O P L 1452 [1452] Clean-Up . . x x x . . . . . 1452 O P 1530 [1530] Clean-Up . . . . x x . . . . 1530 P O 1559/1554 (2) [1559] Clean-Up . x x x x x . . . . 1554 O P L 1575/1591 (5) [15xx] Clean-Up . . x x x x . . . .
