     Kickstarts   : 1.2/1.3/2.0 | Cache = GURU!

     Removal      : Use a good viruskiller or delete infected files.

     Comments     : The  virus  patches  the Open()-Vector. If the Open()-
                    Vector  is  used,  the  virus infects the file,  which
                    should be opened.


                    This  virus works like the Infiltrator virus, it saves
                    the 1.st Longword of the 1st Hunk at insert a "BSR" to
                    make  sure  that the virus will be activated on every 
                    time you start an infected file. But this method isn't
                    good  at  all.  Some  files can cause a GURU after the
                    infection. 


                    The virus crypts itself with the $DFF006 register. The
                    virus isn`t resident. 


                    If  you  are  starting  an  infected  file  the  virus
                    sometimes  changes  the  actual  window-title  in  the
                    following text:


                    "-=- The Dark Avenger -=-"
