Name : Byte Voyager II Aliases : No Aliases Type/Size : Boot/1024 Clones : No Clones Symptoms : No Symptoms Discovered : 08-04-91 Way to infect: Boot infection Rating : Less Dangerous. Kickstarts : 1.2/1.3/2.0 (Just DD-Disks) Damage : Overwrites boot. Removal : Install boot. Comments : If you are booting with a ByteVoyager-Infected disk the virus copies itself to address $7F000 and changes the KICK-Vectors to stay resident in memory. For infection the virus uses the DoIO()-Vector ehich will be patched after the next reset. The ByteVoyagerVirus test for block 880 (Root of DD Disks) so it`s very unlikely that the virus infects a HD-Disk (BUT NOT UNTHINKABLE). The disk which will be infected get an new name: "Another virus by Byte Voyager" After the 1st infection the virus installs a new patch in the ZERO-PAGE ($6C.w). This patch checks for an special value in memory. If this value reaches 45000 your AMIGA will break down. The whole virusbootblock is crypted by using the $dff006 register so you can`t read anything in the BB SHI - A.D 08-94 [Go back]
