Viral Rewind: Virus.Win32.Bacros

Показать описание
-----------------------------------------------------------
. This Viral Rewind is a bit longer since this virus works differently between Windows NT and Windows 9x operating systems. So strap in!
Bacros is a 32-bit virus with multiple payloads that behaves slightly different on NT vs 9x systems. It even drops a Microsoft Word macro virus alongside the other malicious things it does. Bacros looks like a standard text document from its icon and even opens a text document with Bacros (or something different depending on the filename). But don't be fooled; it's in actuality an application .EXE file however if you don't disable "hide file extensions" you won't notice this. When run, Bacros drops several files:
Payloads (controlled by date):
1st of any month (NT only): Bacros searches out all .gif image files on the machine and overwrites them with "KUOLE JEHOVA"
2nd of any month: Bacros searches out all .txt text files and creates a companion file of the virus with the same name as the text file. Then it hides the original text file and links it to the Bacros companion executable.
December 6th: Bacros replaces the desktop background with that of the Finnish flag as the date corresponds to Finland's Independence Day.
December 25th: Bacros deletes all personal files and the majority of system files thus requiring either restoring from backups or a fresh system installation.
