Parity_Boot.B
Analysis
- Virus infects the MBR and DBR of floppies, and
makes a copy of these records to other locations
- Viral body is 512 bytes and is stealth, redirecting
calls to the boot record to the saved copy
- If infected floppy is in pc upon boot, virus code
may be transferred to system MBR and become memory
resident at next system boot
- Unless a floppy is write-protected, it becomes infected when accessed from an infected pc
