Summary
This virus overwrites the beginning of COM files, placing the original code in encrypted form at the end. EXE files are also infected in an unusual way - the original CS:PC is not changed, but the first 5 bytes of the program code are overwritten with a FAR CALL to the virus code.
Disinfection & Removal
Allow F-Secure Anti-Virus to disinfect the relevant files.
For more general information on disinfection, please see Removal Instructions.
