-
- This virus is nearly identical to the Jerusalem virus, which is much
- better known, and which was derived from it. The virus activates on
- Friday the 13 when an infected program is run.
-
- It does not delete files, due to a bug in its code. On other days,
- after the virus is memory resident for 30 seconds, an area of the screen
- is turned into a "black window" and a time wasting loop is executed.
-
- Differences from the Jerusalem virus:
-
- * the string "sUMsDos" found in the Jerusalem is "sURIV 3.00" in this
- version.
-
- * the 30 minute delay (before machine slow-down) in the Jerusalem is 30
- seconds in this version (making detection easier with this virus than
- with the Jerusalem);
-
- * there is a bug in the program delete function of the virus, making
- this version less lethal than the Jerusalem.
