     Comments     : The Byte Warrior  virus is a very simple one. If you
                    are booting  with an infected  disk the virus copies
                    itself always to a  definied address in CHIP-Memory.
                    Then it patches the KICK-Vectors to stay resident in
                    memory. To infect  other  disks  the virus  uses the
                    DoIO()-Vector  but  only KICK 1.2  users  will  have
                    problems  with the  ByteWarrior. On Kickstart 1.3 or
                    higher you will  get an  ticket to  india (GURU) for
                    free !! In  the bootblock is  a crypted message wich
                    lays at address $7FC00 decrypted:

                    "Virus detector by the mighty ByteWarrior!!!"
                    "Please, please, please don`t install this disk"
                    "coz I want to travel!"
                    "Spread the Bootblock and the Word!"
