- Subject: New virus (PC)
-
- I've found a new virus on PC at the beginning of December, but it
- has been around here at least from the end of June. I've named that
- virus as 2480 virus, because its size is that. 2480 Virus spreads
- only (I think) if the year is set to 1988 or earlier. If it is
- later than 1988, infected files will occasionally display the logo
- of European Crackin' Crew (Does anyone know anything about that
- group??) when user executes an infected program.
-
- 2480 Virus adds 2480 bytes to the end of every .COM file it decides
- to infect. It doesn't infect files very quickly and it seems that
- infection happens only at the certain time. It will also change the
- last modification time to the time when infection happened but the
- files' dates remain unchanged. 2480 Virus is not memory resident
- and it can easily be noticed because the European Crackin' Crew's
- logo is at the end of every infected .COM file.
-
- This virus is not detected by the ViruScan V72, but I've sent a copy
- of it to Mr. John McAfee and Fridrik Skulason, so hopely the
- ViruScan V73 and F-Prot 1.14 will find this virus :-)
