| Name |  Norton AntiVirus Michelangelo Edition | | Date | February 15, 1992 Symantec Corp | | File Size | 227KB | | Description | The Michelangelo virus activates itself on March 6th, the
anniversary of Michelangelo's birth. The Michelangelo virus is
spread only by floppy disks - not over networks or by connecting
to electronic on line services and bulletin boards. The virus is
transferred to memory and hard disks when an attempt is made to
start up (boot) your computer from a floppy disk that is infected.
The floppy does not have to be a bootable floppy disk; it can be
simply a floppy disk with data files on it. Once the virus is on
the hard disk, it will infect every floppy that you put in your
computer, thereby creating further infections that help it
continue to spread. |
