Skism - Smart Kids Into Sick Methods


Immediately upon becoming memory resident, the system user will experience the system slowing down. Noticeable effects of the system slowdown include video flicker to extremely slow screen writes. Some programs may appear to "hang", though they will eventually execute properly in most cases since the "hang" is due to the slowing of the system. When a program is executed with the Whale memory resident, the virus will infect the program. Infected programs increase in length, the actual change in length is usually 9,216 bytes. Note the "usually": this virus does occasionally infect a program with a "mutant" which will be a different length. If the file length increase is exactly 9,216 bytes, the Whale will hide the change in file length when a disk directory command is executed. If the file length of the viral code added to the program is other than 9,216 bytes, the file length displayed with the directory command will either the actual infected file length, or the actual infected file length minus 9,216 bytes." 1 Aurora Mass 02:48
