- ARCHIE (Also known as FF8)
- ------
-
- This is by far the oldest virus, but various bugs in it's coding
- make the chances of it successfully infecting other programs
- quite small. Unlike most other viruses discussed here it works
- by merging itself with files typed FF8 (Absolute).
- On the 13th of the month any infected application will fail to run,
- giving the message 'Archievirus strikes again'.
-
- Quick Check : Load a file into !Edit, and look for '1210' at the
- end of the file.
- (though 'Hypo1210' indicates an innoculation instead).
