8ball.a

It is not a dangerous memory resident multipartite virus. While executing an infected file the virus copies itself into HMA, hooks INT 40h, and then overwrites boot sectors of the floppy disks. While loading from an infected disk the virus hooks INT 1Ah, waits for DOS loading, and hooks INT 21h. On first call to INT 21h the virus creates on C: drive the file with a random selected name, and writes the virus copy to that file. Then the virus adds the string:
INSTALL=C:
to the end of the C:\CONFIG.SYS file. As a result while loading from infected C: drive the virus receives the control in the infected file. After infection the virus restores INT 21h (removes itself from the memory).
The virus uses anti-debugging tricks, performs some commands with keyboard ports, contains the text strings:
PK
INSTALL=C:c:\config.sys

This is a memory resident parasitic virus. It hooks INT 21h and writes itself to the end of files that are executed. It infects COM files only.
It has an EXE infection routine, but this routine is never executed, and is partly erased by the encrypted text:
-= PERSIAN GULF =-
Hey you! Jump to the FIRE!
This is a VIRUS, By:Aref Karimi (Wizard) The Last days of 1375.
Be happy, he he
It also hooks INT 17h and 33h and disables the mouse and printing. On the 6th of any month, this virus erases the CMOS, decrypts and displays the following message:
“Aref V.2.0″ sends the greetings and
deep regards to U. he is looking for
someone to talk to, please contact to
the following EMAIL address :

It’s a dangerous memory resident multipartite stealth virus. On loading from infected floppy it writes itself into MBR of hard drive. Then it hooks INT 13h (as loading from infected HD) and checks the functions of disk reading and writing. On reading from floppy, it infects the boot sector of the floppy, on writing on the floppy the virus checks first three bytes of data buffer. If there is JMP opcode (E9h), the virus overwrites 200h bytes of this buffer by virus’ code. So the virus can insert itself into the executable file beginning or middle. On execution of this file the virus infects MBR of hard drive and returns to DOS. These files are not recoverable and should be deleted.
