✦ Synopsis

Virus wars escalate. Virus writers and anti-virus software developers have been locked in an endless loop, and the viruses get more vicious and the solutions for eradicating them more clever with each round. It seems the virus writers are on top if the recent virus 'Dir.Byway' is any indication. Dir.Byway, which attacks PCS, infects all of the executables in all directories in a search path and is capable of infecting programs even before they are launched. Any kind of access, such a simple directory listing,is enough for the virus to cause damage. It displays a message in Spanish which translates as, "We are all working for Venezuela!!!". The virus is believed to have been developed in China. Dutumation, October 1, 1995, p. 18.
