Hippie virus is a typical boot sector and MBR infector. The virus does
not fit in to the boot sector alone, so it takes allocates three
additional sectors. All of the sectors are encrypted.
The virus is harmless, but has stealth features. You have to boot from
a clean floppy to disinfect it. Hippie does not decrease the amount of
available memory.
The author of Hippie is "Dr. White", who has written the Junkie and
Desperado viruses as well.
