Overview

This is a virus detection. Viruses are programs that self-replicate recursively, meaning that infected systems spread the virus to other systems, which then propagate the virus further. While many viruses contain a destructive payload, it's quite common for viruses to do nothing more than spread from one system to another.

Aliases

• VBS/777-A

• VBS/777-B

• VBS/Cbabm

Characteristics

This virus is a true parasitic virus. It non-destructivly infects other script files by copying itself at the start of any script file in either;
· The same folder as the virus script file,
· The Windows folder,
· Windows\Profiles\All Users\Desktop
· Windows\Profiles\Administrator\Desktop
· Windows\Desktop

This virus also has a payload in that on a certain day and time it will place an ASCII text picture at the start of any .TXT or .DOC files it find on all drives and folders.

This virus is quite easy to repair, but the damage it could do to users text and document files makes this virus quite dangerous.

Symptoms

.TXT and .DOC replacement with ASCII "art" and text.

Method of Infection

This virus uses VBScript instructions to access the file system. Running this virus intentionally or accidentally will result in infection of the system and possibly file replacements as mentioned in the characteristics section.
