Summary

Breasts is a simple boot sector virus which infects the master boot sectors of hard drives and floppy boot sectors on floppies. It contains the following text, which seems to be never displayed:

Virginia / Shirley

She has BREASTS, yes she has !!!

Breasts is an extremely buggy virus. For example, it allocates 16kB of memory, when it only needs 512 bytes. It also won't work properly in machines that do not have full 640kB of DOS memory.

Breasts was confirmed to be in the wild in the UK in May 1995.

Removal

Based on the settings of your F-Secure security product, it will either move the file to the quarantine where it cannot spread or cause harm, or remove it.

A False Positive is when a file is incorrectly detected as harmful, usually because its code or behavior resembles known harmful programs. A False Positive will usually be fixed in a subsequent database update without any action needed on your part. If you wish, you may also:

  • Check for the latest database updates

    First check if your F-Secure security program is using the latest updates, then try scanning the file again.

  • Submit a sample

    After checking, if you still believe the file is incorrectly detected, you can submit a sample of it for re-analysis.

    Note: If the file was moved to quarantine, you need to collect the file from quarantine before you can submit it.

  • Exclude a file from further scanning

    If you are certain that the file is safe and want to continue using it, you can exclude it from further scanning by the F-Secure security product.

    Note: You need administrative rights to change the settings.
