This document gives a brief description of the Hare virus and explains how to use F-HARE to detect and disinfect this virus.
Hare is a polymorphic, stealth, multi-partite virus.
It is memory-resident and infects .COM and .EXE files, MBRs of hard disks, and floppy disk boot sectors. It is Windows 95 aware, enabling it to infect both files and the boot sectors of floppy disks used from Windows 95. Alternately, there may be no visible effect until the virus triggers. Since the symptoms can vary, it is recommended that suspect PCs be scanned using the F-HARE utility. If you find the Hare virus in memory, please reboot your computer from a clean write-protected system floppy diskette.
