Typo Boot was first isolated in Israel by Y. Radai in June, 1989.
|
|
This virus takes up 2K at the upper end of system memory once it has
|
|
become memory resident.
|
|
|
|
The virus will swap some characters on printouts with phonemes (for
|
|
example, C vs. K), and transpose or substitute digits. Only printouts
|
|
are affected.
|
|
|
|
Typo Boot may be derived from Ping Pong, because the two have very
|
|
similar internal structures. It can be removed from a disk by using
|
|
MDisk, CleanUp, DOS SYS command, or just about any Ping Pong
|
|
disinfector.
