These are dangerous memory resident companion viruses. They hook INT 21h and create companion .COM files for .EXE files that are executed.
The "Epsilon.513" virus has bugs and in some cases halts the system. This virus contains the text string:


"Epsilon.1498" intercepts GetVector DOS function, and when some program gets INT 21h vector's address, the virus restores the original INT 21h address, waits for 64 keystrokes and then re-hooks INT 21h again. To do that the virus also hooks INT 16h.
This virus does not keep its complete code and data in the memory, but stores the name of the infected file. While infecting an EXE file the virus reads its complete code from that file and writes it to the companion COM file.
Depending on its random counters the virus overwrites the disk sectors with the strings:
Brno, Czechoslovakia (4Ever!), Europe (No such bloody America !). Drink
only Tuzemsky Rum and fuck only Slovak girls ! * A word to AEC, especially
BBS Sysop and Mrnustik & comp. : You are bloody fucked idiots ! I'l destroy
your dirty sickening BBS. Get ready, stupid idiotic lunatics ! Get ready
for WAR !!! * Message to Grisoft : Your AVG 3.3 is nice but not very
succesfull on Epsilon, I'm afraid.>
