Virus.DOS.Ithaqua

Merry Christmas and happy holidays! I apologize for the abrupt end to this video, my camera battery died and I took it as a sign to go to bed, so that's what I did.

From an interview with Wintermute:

"Ithaqua: The last one I've done... took me lots of time ( also I didn't have much ) so I hope ya like it :). It's COM/EXE/MBR, infects COM and EXE by two different ways, has win95 stealth apart from FCB and DTA, a 2'7 KB long code emulator, two poly engines ( for boot and file ), a new way for handling the int21h which consists on random changing the jump inserted in the int21h handler code to jump to the virus code, and some other stuff. The name ? Well, the first thing I developed for it was that random handling changing stuff, so I decided to call it Ithaqua, which is a god some canadian tribes have, which is called "that who walks over the wind"."

I love how polite this guy is. Thanks Dan, I'm having a fantastic day off.

This is similar to Christmas Jetpack's credits screen - it doesn't suffer from slowdown, and doesn't damage your PC, but doesn't have the 'snow crumple' effect.

[LazarheaD]

Even Call of Duty doesn't have snow phisycs this accurate!

[Worthikids]

I'm only watching this one now but... Merry Christmas!! Hope it was a good one! Also wow this virus sure is  cool.

It's incredibly satisfying to start at 2:50 and then tap the keyboard arrow keys to fast-forward through the rest of the video from there

Merry Christmas, MS DOS. *Virus destroys MBR*
And Merry Christmas to you, Dan. :)

[Pluies]

I sneezed then the video started and it scared me! X3

Hey danooct, I really like your videos. I was wondering if you could do more viruses that are creepy or scary? I would really like that if you could. Thanks and have a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

[PYECM]

Happy holidays all, and great virus dan, thx for sharing

[Yadobler]

wow 15 degrees celsius

i live in singapore and to be honest in the winter period the coldest would be in a cold thunderstorm, where the lowest temperature is 25 degrees celsius, or 77 degrees fahrenheit 
sometimes i feel like i would freeze in other parts of the world

anyway nice video happy holidays :D

[FormatorBlack]

Nice! At least I wasn't the only one up till four on Christmas

[henryso]

I got you an infected DOS PC! Merry Xmas dan

[gabrielwoj]

So a slow down in the screen might cause the pc to get too hot... Ironically, a virus that makes the screen drop snow, makes the pc hotter. (Depending the pc, if it's too old or not)

[ShhhHhhhz]

I don't know about you guys but i would love to hear your commentary on those failed viruses too

[irjanolsen]

i am watching this on a packard bell machine right now.

[SirChunky]
