Date of Origin: Fall, 1989.

Host Machine: Macintosh.

The Apple virus is a "RESET" instruction followed by a "NOP"
|
|
instruction. The unusual sequence of statements (normally one would put
|
|
the "NOP" before the "RESET") makes it a surprisingly hard to detect and
|
|
disassemble. To propagate, the user must use Apple's Resource Editor
|
|
(ResEdit) to cut and paste this virus into every program that they want
|
|
it to infect. The virus seems to be more a tool for virus planters than
|
|
something that will be causing widespread damage directly.
