Virus.DOS.Excess

do you feel lucky, punk?

sorry, i was pretty out of it when i made this video. it's been a long couple of weeks filled with midterms. if i'm a little incoherent, that's why.

The problem isn't that you were running the virus. The problem was that it was still Tuesday when you guessed the correct number. Normally, the system time would no longer be on that obscure memory address, and so the virus would not reactivate.

I found a text string inside the virus:

"Your PC is working VERY SLOWLY today... What about a good PENTIUM Processor"

I swear "The Nuker" was friends with the author of the Casino virus for its payload is similar in a way that you have to gamble your chances or else it will format your hard disk on reboot. And that both talk about destroying the FAT and saving its copy within the virus ' s memory. Either that or "The Nuker" was another alias for Casino's author.

This reminds me of the casino/jackpot virus on one of your older videos.

So if you hard reset and put in an MS-DOS boot disk during the payload, change the date, fix the MBR, you could recover your data?

I still love the vintage hard drive spin-up sound (I remember that drive sound fondly, but forget what type it is).  And those LOUD floppy seek sounds.  Music, is what it is.

Back from when computers were still machines, instead of pieces of crap they make today.

Amazing video as always, Dan. Keep up the good work !

I might have already asked this on another video, but I recently bought a Unisys CWD 486, exactly like the one you have. And there are weird things about my system that is different form yours. First off, the games run like crap. And the riser card is too high for the actual ISA slot. Do you know how to get the games to run faster, and what riser card you are using? Thanks in advance.

Hey danooct1 , I had a Windows 7 trojan called Win32.Trojan.Alureon.A or something like that. I was wondering if you could use VMware or something so i could see what it's payload was.
'Cause it slowly killed my computer.

[wink]

3:51- 3:54 @danooct1 I like that sound, what is it called?

[ktost]

Thanks for updating my virus signature database!

Its possible to make virus, what gonna delete your date (for example) if you going to 2 or more gigabites of RAM used?

>loose all your data

loose is not even a verb it's a fucking adjective

[myrmeko]

I got a really bad virus when i was a little kid. A big skull appeared on the screen and then PC = dead. The power button was inactive. (but this is just what i remember, it might be wrong, i got it when i was about 5 yrs old.)
I dont remember if it didnt power up again (maybe it did... I dont remember)... But i remember that the service said that there is nothing to save from it. Then i got a new one. (but with no internet) :(

Do you know that virus?

[kylejohnson]

Couldn't you wait till the next day then try and guess the right number? Then wouldn't it run the virus again and only print hello world?

[MDamped]

Gave your other channel a sub. Keep on posing awesome videos man!

[Computist]

I think the correct term to a hanging machine is, I'm just kidding by the way

[mariustancredi]

What hardware are you using? It looks like something that came out of a museum... how did you get it?
