Description: Details
Quark.1600

It is not a dangerous memory resident parasitic virus. It hooks INT 15h, 21h and writes itself to the end of COM and EXE files that are executed. By hooking INT 15h the virus intercepts keyboard on old-style (PC-286) computers and changes keyboard data. The virus contains the text strings:
smothered to inertness by bendelosangeles Arg~AdeN

If this string is changed, the virus deletes the host file.
