- These are not dangerous nonmemory resident companion viruses. They
- search for .EXE files of the current directory, and create the .COM
- files with the same names but the .COM extensions. They stay memory
- resident but do not hook virus-like interrupts - so they are set as
- nonmemory resident. There are two such viruses, both variants is the
- same virus, but compressed with different utilities: LZEXE and PKLITE.
- In October on Mondays these viruses display the message:
-
- HAVE A "HAPPY MONDAY" LANCSPOLY SUCKERS. POP WILL EAT ITSELF
-
- and display the 'face' character (ASCII 1).
