Additional Details


The virus corrupts some C, PAS, TXT, ME, DOC, BAK and ASM files by writing this poem to the beginning of them:

To Karen
In the realm of a greek deity, I dreamt of you.
A weird reverie,
Typewriters were like clouds, high in the sky,
The floor was made of paper,
Pencils stood for trees,
A light bulb, low on the horizon, made a perfect sunset.
And it rained words ...
Then you came, more beautiful than ever,
The only one real in my cyberspace.
I felt like holding you im my arms, touching your hair,
Telling you how much I loved you,
How much I wanted to lose myself in your pretty brown eyes.
I was almost in heaven.
Suddenly it was pitch dark,
The greek god had turned off the PC. It said:
'Buddy you're just a damned cyberpunk
whose only friends are NPCs.'
I opened my eyes, it was dawning outside.
You weren't there.
I miss you. I really miss you.
Zyx
From the slums of
Beverly Hills.
