The "Beavis" virus
written by Virtual Daemon

Description
Here you have my first COM/EXE TSR virus. I made him quite some time ago, so I think that the elite virus coders wont find anything here...
Sorry guys! :(

Anyway, I'm releasing the source code bcoz this might help somebody out there in learning how to do it. It's quite simple...
About the virus:

  • COM/EXE TSR
  • infection on 4bh (load or execute)
  • size stealth on 11h/12h/4eh/4fh
  • time stealth on 5700h (get file's time/date)
  • int 24h handler (no errors will be displayed)
  • save/restore file time/date/attributes
  • infect COMMAND.COM too

Well, that's all... The virus doesn't have any payload or encryption system bcoz, like I said, this was my first EXE TSR virus! So, don't be too hard on it... There will be a better one! I promise! :-)
