- Virus Name : WEED v1.2
- PayLoad.....: BAIT file avoidance - FIles considered to be bait are destroyed
- instead of being infected. VGA payload has a 1/10 chance
- going off everytime an infected program is run. VGA payload
- is an animated moving StarField. If the user presses \ while
- the starfield is moving, The program will continue loading
- as normal.
-
- Virus Target: *.exe and *.com files. Stealth infection routines. :)
- Virus Info..: WEED will disable vsafe/vscan if found in memory. WEED will
- also infect files after the host has finished running. Good
- example: pkzip and pkunzip.exe. Once pkunzip.exe is infected
- any files it makes for you *.com and *.exe will become weed
- carriers. That is, before you even have access to them.
- Virus Size..: Varies. Depends on the host size and what weed feels like doing.
- Encryption..: Oh yes, on host data... Encryption algorithm is much better
- then previous version
- Stealth.....: Some. Infected *.com and *.exe files will not notice any
- modification. Including f-prot :)

- Tech Details:
-
- This is the third generation of the WEED virus. Each version, I have tried to
- make better then before. A critical error handler has been installed, Its
- rather a lame one, but it will do Until I can code a better one. The signature
- data was not changed from v1.1. WEED now has a random payload effect, which if
- a VGA card is installed in the machine, makes for some very interesting effects!
-
- There are no current plans to release the source to this virus. If you want to
- see how it works that badly, test your skills at debugging it.
