It is not a dangerous memory resident parasitic virus. It hooks INT 21h and writes itself to the end of EXE files that are executed or opened. It contains the text string:

Depending on the system date the virus also hooks INT 9, 1Ch, and some time after manifests itself with several effects. While entering a key the virus puts the strings into the keyboard buffer:
'S' - "atan "
'L' - "ucifer "
'6' - "66 "
'T' - "enerife "

The virus also manifests itself with some sound effect.
