Bastard.1979

It's a dangerous memory resident parasitic virus. It hooks INT 21h and writes itself at the end of COMMAND.COM and EXE-files that are accessed. The virus does not save complete code in COMMAND.COM and can not replicate from it. It deletes the files the MS*.* and CP*.* files. It contains the internal string "SCCLF-TBVSVIIMMSCV", checks the file name by this string before infection and does not hit the files SC*.*, CL*.*, F-*.* and so on. Depending on the system time and date the virus erases disk sectors and displays the message:
