Host Machine: PC compatibles. Host Files: EXE files. Non-resident. Increase in Size of Infected Files: 3,880 bytes Detected by: Scan v.60+. Removed by: Scan/D, or delete whatever is infected. Recognition of this virus is straightforward. EXE files will grow in length by 3,880 bytes, and a file named ?OMMAND.COM (where ? is a non- printing character) will be found on the disk. This file contains the virus, and is used as a source of the code during infection. Itavir won't activate until it has been in the system for 24 hours or more. Upon activation, it corrupts the boot sector, so that the system will not boot after power down. A message (in Italian) is displayed, and ASCII codes 0-255 are sent to all ports. Some monitors will flicker or (if VGA) will hiss when this occurs.
