Major Family
These are dangerous memory resident encrypted parasitic viruses. They hook INT 8, 21h and write themselves to the end of EXE-files that are executed. At random selected moment these viruses open the BBS-files:
“Major.1644″: \BBSV6\BBSAUDIT.DAT, \BBSV6\BBSUSR.DAT
“Major.1691″: C:\BBSV6\BBSAUDIT.DAT, C:\BBSV6\BBSUSR.DAT
and check them for presence of the names:
“Major.1644″ Puppet Image Gnat Minion Cindy F’nor
“Major.1691″: Puppet Image Gnat Santa Minion Cindy Herman
If any of these strings is found, the viruses change in some way the contents of BBS-files.
The viruses also contain the text strings:
“Major.1644″: The Major BBS Virus created by Major tomTugger
“Major.1691″ The Major Virus created by Weed and dedicated
to the Quantum BBS in Calgary, AB
