Description: Details
Ramones.a

It is a very dangerous memory resident multipartite virus. It hooks INT 13h and writes itself to the boot sectors of the floppy disks and to the MBR of the hard drive. The virus encrypts the original boot and MBR sectors before saving them on disk.
The virus also overwrites EXE files that are accessed. When such file is executed, the virus infects the MBR of the hard drive, displays the message and returns to DOS:
Incorrect DOS Version.

The virus also contains the text:
[RamonesMania] by Evil One.
