- Comments : The Target-Virus is one of these viruses which I can`t
- analyse properly. The virus copies itself to $7EC00
- and stays resident over the CoolCapture. After the
- next reset the virus patches the DoIO()-Vector.
-
- This routine is very confusing. I don`t know exactly
- what it does or should do. The only thing I can say
- about it, is that the virus doesn`t infect disks but
- scans the rootblock of the disk.
-
-
- Only DD-Disks will be affected. After that the virus
- test if the disk name contains of special letters.
- This letters will be overwritten and the rest of the
- tracks after block 880 will be overwritten with memory
- garbage.
-
- I think this "virus" was written to damage special
- disk from special person(s).
