Description: Details
DataFire.1080

It is a dangerous not memory resident parasitic virus. It searches for .COM-files and writes itself to their ends. On Fridays, 13th it erases the disk sectors, displays the message and halts the PC:
DataFire I
The Pyro of The Underground

On December Sundays it leaves the TSR program that hooks INT 1Ch, 21h. By hooking INT 1Ch the virus slows down the computer. The hooking of INT 21h is used for "Are you here?" call before INT 1Ch hooking.
