Ambulance (Computer Virus) $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Ambulance is a file infecting computer virus and it does not become memory resident. It will only infect one .COM file in any given directory, but will not infect the first one. This means there must be at least two .COM files in the directory for it to spread. Sometimes when an infected file is executed, an ASCII ambulance can be seen moving across the bottom part of the screen. A siren sound is also played from the systems speaker. Ambulance is not a destructive virus; it simply spreads itself around and shows off its payload once in a while. A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer. The term virus is also commonly but erroneously used to refer to other types of malware, including but not limited to adware and spyware programs that do not have the reproductive ability. A true virus can spread from one computer to another (in some form of executable code) when its host is taken to the target computer; for instance because a user sent it over a network or the Internet, or carried it on a removable medium such as a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB drive.

The Black Box: A Cassandra Virus Novel $16.63 Something is cutting off Spohrville’s communication with the outside world. The phones don’t work. There’s no radio, no TV — no internet. Are eco-terrorists trying to shut down the Mars Relay satellite? That’s what the government says, but Jordan and Helen and the sentient virtual supercomputer Cassandra don’t believe a word of it. The town is overrun with "birdwatchers" who can’t tell a hawk from a heron. Jordan’s old enemy, Harvey Number Two of the spy agency Bureau 6, is sneaking around pretending to be a cop on holiday. And archaeologist Uncle William has dug up a very strange black rock while excavating an Acadian settlement. With no land-lines to the site of the dig and wireless communication impossible, Jordan and Helen have no back-up from Cassandra. They’ve taken on corrupt government agents and industrial spies before, but they’ve always had Cassandra behind them. It’s the twenty-first century. The bad guys have night-vision goggles and interference triangulators. How did Jordan and Helen get stuck with a bunch of musket-toting historical re-enactors as their only allies?

NewLove targets every single file on a users hard drive until the computer stops working. The virus causes more damage than ILOVEYOU because it sneaks around virus scanners.

Hare (Computer Virus) $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Hare Virus is a destructive computer virus which infected MSDOS and Windows 95 machines in August 1996. It was also known as Hare.7610, Krsna and HD Euthanasia. The virus was capable of infecting .COM and .EXE executable files, as well as the Master boot record of hard disks and the boot sector on floppy disks. A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer. The term virus is also commonly but erroneously used to refer to other types of malware, including but not limited to adware and spyware programs that do not have the reproductive ability.

Michelangelo (Computer Virus) $98.77 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Michelangelo virus is a computer virus first discovered in April 1991 in New Zealand. The virus was designed to infect DOS systems (but did not engage the operating system or make any OS calls; Michelangelo, like all boot sector viruses, basically operated at the BIOS level) and remained dormant until March 6, the birthday of Renaissance artist Michelangelo. There is no reference to the artist in the virus, and it is doubtful that the virus writer intended Michelangelo to be referenced to the virus. Michelangelo is a variant of the already endemic Stoned virus. On March 6, if the PC is an AT or a PS/2, the virus overwrites the first one hundred sectors of the hard disk with nulls. The virus assumes a geometry of 256 cylinders, 4 heads, 17 sectors per track. Although all the users data would still be on the hard disk, it would be irretrievable for the average user.

Bomber (Computer Virus) $58.94 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Bomber (also known as CommanderBomber) is a DOS polymorphic computer virus known for its technique of patchy infection. Contrary to the usual method of infecting executables (which is to append virus body to the executable and to change the entry point), it inserts several fragments ( patches ) of its code in random places inside the file. These fragments transfer control to each other using various mechanisms. A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer. The term virus is also commonly but erroneously used to refer to other types of malware, including but not limited to adware and spyware programs that do not have the reproductive ability.

Ghostball (Computer Virus) $58.94 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Ghostball was the first multipartite virus discovered. The virus was discovered in October 1989 by Fridrik Skulason. It infected both executable .COMfiles and boot sectors. A multipartite virus is a computer virus that infects and spreads in multiple ways. The term was coined to describe the first viruses that included DOS executable files and PC BIOS boot sector virus code, where both parts are viral themselves. For a complete cleanup, all parts of the virus must be removed. The term was coined, as prior to the discovery of the first of these, viruses were categorized as either file infectors or boot infectors. Because of the multiple vectors for the spread of infection, these viruses could spread faster than a boot or file infector alone.
