These are not dangerous memory resident parasitic viruses. “Leningrad.1499,2000.b” are encrypted ones. They hook INT 1Ch, 21h and write themselves to the end of COM files that are executed. Sometimes they play a tune. “Leningrad.2000″ contains the text strings in Russian and the string:
Leningrad Leningrad Leningrad Leningrad Leningrad Leningrad Leningrad
Leningrad Leningrad Leningrad Leningrad Leningrad Leningrad Leningrad

Lenin.943

It is not a dangerous nonmemory resident parasitic virus. It searches for EXE files and writes itself to the end of the file. While infecting it does not alter the EXE entry registers, but inserts CALL FAR instruction into file entry point and alters EXE relocation table. Depending on its internal counters it displays the messages on Russian. It also contains the strings:
*.EXE
PATH=

Lemming.2029

These are not dangerous memory resident parasitic encrypted stealth viruses. They trace and hook INT 21h and write themselves to the end of COM and EXE files that are executed or closed. When an infected file is opened, these viruses disinfect it. These viruses check the file name and do not infect several anti-virus programs according to the string:
TBAVTBSCANNAVVSAFEFPROT

They search for ThunderByte anti-virus in memory and hack it. While executing some anti-virus programs these viruses hook INT 1Ch and check the flow of these programs.
They also contain the text strings:
TBDRV

Lemena.3544

It is not a dangerous memory resident parasitic polymorphic virus. It copies itself to the video memory at address BC00:0000, hooks INT 22h (Terminate call), returns control to host program, waits for termination and hooks INT 21h. To hook INT 21h the virus patches the DOS kernel. The virus then writes itself to the end of COM and EXE files that are executed, opened or accessed by Get/Set File Attributes DOS call.
To hide itself in the system memory the virus uses a quite complex way. When any program is executed, the virus allocates a block of XMS memory, moves its code to there, then copies its INT 22h handler to DOS kernel (the virus looks for a cave in there). The virus then releases INT 21h, hooks INT 22h, erases its TSR copy in the video memory and releases control. As a result, when any program (including anti-viruses) are active, there are no virus code in the DOS memory. The main part of virus code (encrypted) is placed in the XMS memory, and INT 22h handler is “waiting” for the Terminate call to restore “status quo” (move virus code from XMS to the video memory and to re-hook INT 21h).
The virus also uses anti-debugging tricks as well as on-the-fly encryption: the virus decrypts its subroutines before calling them, and encrypts after return from subroutine.
The virus does not infect anti-virus programs -V.EXE, ADINF, AIDSTEST, AVP, CPAV, and so on according to the string (two letters per name):
-VADAIAVCPDRF-FIGUIMIVMSNAPCSCSPSSSVTBTOV-VAVSWE

The virus deletes the anti-virus databases: ANTI-VIR.DAT, AVP.CRC, CHKLIST.CPS, CHKLIST.MS, CHKLIST.TAV, CRC.SVS, FILES.VVL FINGERP.VVF IM.PRM IVB.INI, IVB.NTZ, MSAV.CHK, SMARTCHK.CPS, \AV.CRC, \BOOT.CPS, \BOOT.MS, \BOOT.NTZ, \BOOT.TAV, \IV.INI, \PART.NTZ
According to its random counter the virus displays the texts:
LEMENA’97
BOKEPH’97

The virus also contains the text strings:
TBDRVXXX
[LEMENA'97] by Bokeph from Batavia, Indonesia
[MENA]

This is a very dangerous memory resident parasitic virus. It hooks INT 21h and writes itself into the middle of COMMAND.COM when it is executed, or accessed with DOS function FindFirst (AH=4Eh).
The virus is located in COMMAND.COM stack area and does not increase the file length. The virus changes the 2nd and 3d bytes of the file (JMP Loc_Virus).
The body of the virus contains a counter that increments by 1 on every successful infection of next COMMAND.COM file. The counter is saved on disk only when infected COMMAND.COM has been run from the hard disk. Otherwise the counter state is zeroed on every reboot of DOS. When the counter reaches 4, the virus erases the first 32 logical sectors of the disk which it has been run from.

It is a dangerous memory resident encrypted parasitic virus. It hooks INT 21h and writes itself to the end of COM and EXE files that are executed. After 400 infections at the same seance it corrupts CMOS checksum fields, and displays the message:

Legion.3274

This is a benign non-memory resident encrypted parasitic virus. It searches for .COM files, then writes itself to the end of the file. The virus does not infect files with names that begin with two-letter variants from the string: “COSODETSANIB-D-UWIPU” (COMMAND.COM, SO*.*, all).
If the date and month correspond in number(January 1, February 2, …), the virus displays the following message:

Leech.1024

These are memory resident encrypted viruses. They hook INT 21h and write themselves into COM files that are executed or closed. If the first instruction of the file is a JMP (E9h or EBh), then the virus inserts itself into the file middle at the address to where JMP instruction points, else the virus writes itself to the beginning of the file. While infecting the virus uses undocumented System File Table.
Depending on the current time “Leech.1024″, “Glist.1014″ and “Tazta.1008″ display the messages and erase the sectors of the root directory of the current drive:
“Leech.1024″: The leech liveall
“Leech.Tazta.1008″: Super, Super! … March 1993, Tazta.
“Leech.Glist.1014″: Mr.Tapeworm May 1996 The GLIST

“Leech.Warrier.768″ is a harmless virus. It contains the text:
The WARRIER!
