Sound familiar?
CLL.94
Details
CLL.947
It is not a dangerous memory resident parasitic virus. It hooks INT 10h, 21h and writes itself to the end of COM and EXE files that are executed. On any INT 10h call the virus writes zero to ports 200h, 220h, 240h, all, 2E0, on any INT 21h call the virus writes random data to ports 230h-233h and 250h-253h (disables soundblaster? Adaptec adapters?). The virus contains the text string:
Creative library link. Copyright(c) 1994 by Michael Carington.
Wrong actually.
It disables videoblaster cards. Not soundblaster.
I wonder why anyone would make such a thing. Could it be to get rid of the competition? Make sure that no one else has a cutting-edge videoblaster? Who knows. I guess we'll never find out.
Oh, and who's Michael Carington? Who'd think up such a name. And why would he be stupid enough to put his real name in a virus. Silly.
It's amazing CLL reached as far as it did really.
