F-Secure Virus Descriptions : Tiny Family





NAME:Tiny Family
ORIGIN:Bulgaria
SIZE:133-198
TYPE:Resident COM-files
REPAIR:Yes

This is a family of at least 11 viruses, which do nothing of particular interest, but appear to be written in an attempt to write the smallest resident virus possible. The Micro-128 virus is still smaller, though.

VARIANT:Tiny.Ghost
This family member is quite a bit larger than the rest - 330 bytes long. It contains the following text, which is displayed when a certain virus scanner is run:

                This scan program can't find me
                I'm a GHOST in your machine!!
