Kerplunk.3059

This is a dangerous memory resident oligomorphic and stealth parasitic virus. It hooks INT 21h, and intercepts the 23 DOS function of file accessing, searching, memory allocation and others: AH=00h, 11h, 12h, 18h, 31h, 32h, 3Dh, 3Fh, 40h, 41h, 42h, 43h, 48h, 49h, 4Ah, 4Bh, 4Ch, 4Eh, 4Fh, 52h, 56h, 57h, 6Ch.
The virus writes itself to the end of COM and EXE files that are accessed. It also checks the file names, and does not summon the infection routine if a file name begins with: RA (RAV), FV (FV86/FV386), FI (FindVirus), NO (Nod-ICE), SC(McAfee Scan), VS (McAfee VShield), TB (ThunderByte Anti-Virus).
The virus disinfects an infected file when writing to them or loading for debugging. When WIN.COM is executed (Windows is starting), the virus disables its stealth routines as well as Windows’ 32-bit disk access (the virus appends the option “/d:c” to the end of command line). The virus also temporarily disables its stealth routines when several utilities are executed: ARJ, RAR, LHA, PKZIP, CHKDSK, HIT, BACKUP, MSBACKUP, TELIX, DEFRAG, SPEEDISK, UC.
If an IPX driver is detected, the virus accesses the Novell Network, and causes network faults. If the user name of the infected PC is SUPERVISOR, the virus summons Novell Netware functions to perform several actions in the network:
On Mondays, it sets SUPERVISOR privileges for GUEST login
From the 1st until the 4th of any month, it disables SUPERVISOR’s privileges.
If the current time is less than 9:00, it reboots the server
If the current time is less than 14:00, it cancels a randomly selected connection
On Sundays, it cancels the logging procedure.
If a user name is not SUPERVISOR:
It clears the screen on a Novell server
It sends a message to a randomly selected user on the network:
Permanent system error. Please hit the computer NOW!

The virus also contains the text:
Kerplunk coded by Virtual Daemon/SLAM

These are dangerous nonmemory resident parasitic viruses. They search for .COM files of the current directory, then write themselves to the end of the file, and Jmp-Virus instructions (four bytes: XCHG AX,DX; JMP Loc_Virus) to the file header. Depending on the system timer these viruses might reboot the computer. They contain the string “.COM”. On an attempt to infect they open the files and might left them opened.

These are memory resident parasitic viruses. They hook INT 21h, and write themselves to the end of COM and EXE files that are accessed. Some of the major “Kela” versions are stealth viruses. The “Kela” viruses contain the following text strings:
“Kela.823″: KELA lives Don Kr. 1992
“Kela.1171″: KELA

“Kela.2099″: You Are Dead !! Ha Ha Ha KELA-16
“Kela.2530″: You Are Dead !! Ha Ha Ha KELA-15

“Kela.690″ is a dangerous virus. While executing, it copies itself to the address 9500:0100, and does not fix the MCB list that might halt the computer. That virus infects .COM files only.
“Kela.2010″ overwrites files with a string in Russian.
“Kela.2520″ also hooks INT 8 (timer), and manifests itself with a video effect: “drops” the letters.
Kela.Chigi
These are very dangerous viruses. “Chigi.2203″ also hooks INT 13h, and searches for the string “Adinf” in sectors being read. If this string is found, the virus overwrites this sector. This virus also contains the followingstring:
ChigiVarez Lives SomeWhere in Net …

“Chigi.2518″ on the 24th of any month, exchanges the addresses of INT 25h and INT 26h. This may corrupt data on the disks. The virus also displays a messages in Russian.

Keeper.Acid.694

These are memory resident parasitic viruses. They hook INT 21h and write themselves to the end of the files. “Keeper.Acid.694″, “Keeper.Enemy.644″ and “Keeper.Eleet.726″ infect EXE files that are executed, “Keeper.Massacre” infect both COM and EXE while accessing to these files.

Keeper.Fly.1036, Joker.1080
These are dangerous memory resident parasitic viruses. They copy themselves to the top of the system memory, but do not correct MCB list. As a result the computer might halt. Then the viruses hook INT 21h and returns to the host program. On accessing to any file the viruses search for .COM files (except COMMAND.COM, IBMBIO.COM, IBMDOS.COM) and infect them.
"Keeper.Fly.1036":
It is encrypted virus. It writes itself to the beginning of the file. While infecting that virus encrypts the host file. Then the virus searches and overwrites the files:
SCAN.EXE CLEAN.EXE NAV.EXE CPAV.EXE TBSCAN.EXE F-PROT.EXE FLUSHOT3.COM

with the program that displays when executed:
Not enough memory.

Depending on the current time the virus displays:

Kbrflags.1024

It is not a dangerous memory resident parasitic virus. It hooks INT 8, 21h, and intercepts DOS functions execute, read and write. On these calls the virus searches for EXE files of current directory and writes itself to the end of the file. Sometimes it changes the keyboard flags.

Details
KbrError.1268

It is a dangerous nonmemory resident parasitic virus. It searches for .COM files (except COMMAND.COM) and writes itself to the end of the file. Before infecting the virus writes a random number of NOP commands to the end of the file, as a result the file length is increased by a random value. Depending on the system time the virus displays the message:
KeyBoard Error all

then it corrupts keyboard buffer and reboots computer. It also contains the text string:
COMMAND.COM

KbrBug.89

Details
KbrBug.895

These are harmless memory resident encrypted parasitic viruses. They hook INT 1, 3, 1Ch, ACh and write themselves to the end of COM (except COMMAND.COM), EXE and OVL files. The viruses make a patch of original INT 21h handler - they insert interrupt call ACh into original INT 21h code, and set INT ACh vector to the address of the virus body.
These viruses do not infect the files for a few days after infection of the system. Periodically they call the trigger routine that jokes with the keyboard by changing the keyboard buffer address and filling the buffer with a “dust”.
“KbrBug.895″ is not such complex: it hooks only INT 1Ch, 21h and does not infect EXE files. Sometimes this virus exchanges the digits ‘0′ to ‘9′ on the screen.
“KbrBug.2662″ also hooks INT 8, 10h and manifests itself with some video effects.
