Description: Details
DarkElf (boot)

It is a dangerous memory resident stealth boot virus. It hooks INT 3, 8, 13h and writes itself to the boot sectors of the floppy disks that are accessed. While infecting a disk the virus stores its second sector and original boot sector to the FAT sectors, and infects correctly 360K floppy disks only. While installing memory resident, if the virus cannot locate the original boot sector, it formats the disk sectors, then display and prints the message:
The Dark Elf strikes again!

It also contains the text strings:
