F-Secure Virus Descriptions : Nightfall

NAME:	Nightfall
ALIAS:	N8fall
TYPE:	Resident COM/EXE-files
ORIGIN:	Germany

This is a very complicated German stealth and polymorphic virus.

There are several variants. F-Secure anti-virus products reliably detect and disinfect the 4518 and 4519 variants, and do detect but not disinfect the 5764 and 5765 variants (Dec-1995).

The variants display different message. The smaller ones display this message:

                Invisible and silent - circling overland :

                           \\\ N 8 F A L L ///

                   Rearranged by Neurobasher - Germany

          -MY-WILL-TO-DESTROY-IS-YOUR-CHANCE-FOR-IMPROVEMENTS-

And the larger ones this:

                     "Any means necessary for survival"

                               * N8FALL/2XS *

           "By the perception of illusion we experience reality"

        "I don't think that the real violence has even started yet"
