- RED DIAVOLYATA, aka MLTI, ISKEY
- -------------------------------
-
- This is a Russian virus and a copy was received in the West in
- December 1990.
-
- It contains the text:
-
- "Eddie die somewhere in time!
- This programm was written in the City of Prostokwashino
- (C) 1990 RED DIAVOLYATA
- Hello! MLTI!"
-
- The reference to EDDIE is obviously a response to the Bulgarian
- virus known as DARK AVENGER 1800 (or EDDIE) which contains the
- message "Eddie lives ... somwhere in time!" and which has spread
- very widely.
-
- Red Diavolyata translates into 'Little Red Devil' whilst the name
- Dark Avenger is, of course, synonymous with The Devil.
-
- There is no City of Prostokwashino but there is said to be a famous
- Russian film called Prostokwashino which features a village with
- this name.
-
- MLTI is an abbreviation of "Moskov'skij Lesotekhnischeskij Institut"
- - the Noscow Forest Engineering Institute.
