;
; this virus is a beta test of an idea I have heard and read about,
; but had never tried. What it does is append its own code to the end of the
; host file and then alter the NEW HEADER pointer at 3ch to point to itself.
; While this virus does work, because of a few mistakes I made the infected
; file will not have any icons associated with it. There are several ways
; around this. But my next attempt at one of these would actualy be larger
; I would just copy the virus in memory to the end of the host. This way I
; would not need to write the internal info and would let Win95 handle it all.
; I actual code the Import data table into the virus this is for size
; consideration . While I still like the idea for this virus the main reason
; I wanted to try it was to try out some code I read about that would mark a
; file as Erase on CLose (or something like that). It describes a self erasing
; file like maybe a Setup program runs once never again. But the idea seems
; like it would only work in NT not 95 at least in my tests.
; Another thing I found was that while MS pushes us to use the Win32
; CreateProc.. and not WinExec. CreateP will only run PE files while WinExec
; will run dos/NE/PE files. So someone could write this so that it infect all
; those files but would only spread under Win95, in DOS the orginal Dos program
; would be called, In 3.11 you would see the dos error msg, and in Win95 all
; the programs would infect and run ok.
; In testing this virus works well 'cept for a few little things, like other
; virus that modify the New Header offset it will make the icons vanish since
; the .rscr section is now "lost". A second thing I believe (know) is that
; since I use an internal .idata structure and I only have one of the pntrs to
; the API in it, yet after the first Generation this pntr is overwritten with
; the address of the API call itself. Actually I am sorta surprised this did
; not cause an error, I guess in Win95 it thinks its bound already and leaves
; it alone. Hmm some of you know what I mean others, I sure are lost, ;) sorry.
; Anyway you can fix this in two ways, one easier than the other depending on
; who you talk to. 1 keep the other refrence to the api name, 2 have a routine
; that fixes this before you write the virus to another host.
; Anyway, despite the problems with this version of the virus I beleive that
; this method with some changes could be very viable in the Win32 enviroment.
;
; To compile use the mk.bat file.
;
; The other file 1.inc is just some header info I used after I finished this
; virus I realize I really did not need to do all that work, but for those of
; you who are curios about the PE header examine away.
