- V2000 may look for and delete any programs written by the Bulgarian
- Vesselin Bontchev, and contains a copyright notice for him, suggesting
- the virus was written neither by him nor by one of his admirers.
-
- V2000 can make a mess of things. If V2000 is present in memory, a DIR
- command won't show that files have grown in size. CHKDSK/F may produce
- crosslinked files. System crashes can occur, and some systems won't
- boot, due to the modification of COMMAND.COM or the hidden system files.
