Description: Details
YanShort.1961.a

This is a non memory-resident parasitic virus. It searches for EXE files in all directories of the current disk, then writes itself to the end of the file. It contains the string "motherfucker," and uses this string to separate the infected and uninfected files.
This virus runs itself by playing the "Yankee Doodle Dandy" tune before returning to the host program.
