Description: Details
Jovial Family

These are not dangerous nonmemory resident parasitic viruses. They search for COM files, then write themselves to the end of the file. The virus code contains eleven junk bytes that are placed at different addresses, and while infecting a file the virus fills these bytes with NOP or HLT opcodes depending on random data. In some cases the viruses display the message:
HI MOM!!!!

The viruses also contain the text string:
JOVIAL KINDNESS BY yOUNG aDULT mALE
[NOP/HLT ENGINE 1.0]
*.COM
