he-heeee, the same stuff...
there was a thread here 3-4 months ago about CIH virus. it is extremely well done virus in 32bit-win. it's on a file-system level, and any directory the windows hears about will be immediately checked and "visited"... It does not work on NT.
it does not utilize the free space, it assumes that space IS free (it should not be, but as u are expected to buy a new nGig drive each year, it is there...). i.e. all the M$/netscrap/etc bulls---will not mention it... but if u run some program made with a good compiler (try watcom), which DOES not leave free space, the program crashes immediately. that was the way we catched it BTW 5 months ago.
so, another reason NOT to use visual s---compilers etc..
adio, and nice viriing (reversing that virus is a very good but dangerous experience;)
