Below is the debug script for the Phoenix 2000 virus. Let's see what Patti
Hoffman's VSUM has to say about it:
Phoenix 2000
Virus Name: Phoenix 2000
Aliases:
V Status: Rare
Discovered: December, 1991
Symptoms: .COM file growth; .EXE files altered; TSR; decrease in total
system and available free memory
Origin: Bulgaria
Eff Length: 2,000 Bytes
Type Code: PRshAK - Parasitic Resident .COM & .EXE Infector
Detection Method: ViruScan, AVTK 5.54+, UTScan 22.00+
Removal Instructions: Delete infected files
General Comments:
The Phoenix 2000 virus was received from The Netherlands in December,
1991, where it was uploaded to several BBSes by a person identifying
themself as "Dark Avenger". This virus originated in Bulgaria, and
is closely related to the earlier V82 virus. Phoenix 2000 is a
memory resident infector of .COM and .EXE files, as well as
COMMAND.COM.
The first time a program infected with Phoenix 2000 is executed, the
Phoenix 2000 virus will become memory resident at the top of system
memory but below the 640K DOS boundary. It will also install a
small TSR in low system memory of 112 bytes. The virus at the top
of system memory is 8,192 bytes in size, this is the amount total
system memory as indicated by the DOS CHKDSK program will decrease
by. The decrease in available free memory will be slightly more.
The Phoenix 2000 virus hooks interrupt 2A. Interrupt 12's return
will not have been moved.
Once Phoenix 2000 is memory resident, it will infect .COM and .EXE
programs, including COMMAND.COM, when they are opened, executed,
copied, or accessed in any way. While it will always infect .COM
files, .EXE files are only successfully infected if they contain
2,000 bytes of binary 00 characters in a continuous block. If the
2,000 bytes of binary 00 characters do not exist, the file may be
partially infected, but will not be replicating copy of the virus.
.COM programs, other than COMMAND.COM, will have a file length
increase of 2,000 bytes with the virus being located in the middle
or end of the infected file. Phoenix 2000 is unable to identify
previous infections of itself on infected .COM files, so they
may become reinfected by Phoenix 2000, adding an additional 2,000
bytes to the file for each reinfection. There will be no change
to the file's date and time in the DOS disk directory listing.
COMMAND.COM and .EXE files will not have a file length increase when
they are infected with the Phoenix 2000 virus. In these two cases,
the virus will overwrite 2,000 bytes of binary 00 characters within
the file with the virus code. For .EXE files with less than 2,000
bytes of binary 00 characters, the file will be partially infected
and may not function properly as a result.
To create the virus, simply copy the script below to a file called
"Phoenix.lst" and type:
