Name : Gadaffi
Aliases : No Aliases
Type/Size : Boot/1024
Clones : MAD, Boomer
Symptoms : No Symptoms
Discovered : 03-04-91
Way to infect: Boot infection
Rating : Dangerous
Kickstarts : Only Kickstart 1.2
Damage : Overwrites boot/"Floppymusic!"
Removal : Install boot.
Comments : The virus uses the coolcapture and the kick vectores
to stay resident in memory.
The Gadaffi virus has a counter which after the 7.th
reset abuses the drive engine through stepping, and
this can scratch the diskette so it is then unusable.
Some generates some noice on the speakers,- this is
much more like the behavior of Byte Bandit, but
mostly it steps the drive because of wrong access to
trackdisk.device by inserting another disk in drive.
It`s very simple coded. Depending of infections the
virus starts a "Floppymusic-routine". This routine is
very dangerous and even can cause DRIVE-ERRORS!! (NO
JOKE!). This routine is also used in the well-known
"A.I.S.F. or InterLamer" Virus.
Please be careful. In the bootblock you can read:
GADAFFI VIRUS!
