Yaba monkey tumor virus
The Yaba monkey tumor virus is a type of poxvirus.
The first case of the virus was obtained from a colony of rhesus monkeys in Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria.
The virus caused the formation of tumors on the bodies of the monkeys.
From these tumors the virus was isolated and determined to be its own species of virus.
It is a species of the Yatapoxvirus genus and is closely related to the tanapox.
The virus gets its name from the suburb of Yaba, Lagos.
The Virus (band)
The Virus is a street punk band from Philadelphia, United States.
Reformed in 2013, the current lineup includes Paul on vocals, Zach on lead guitar, Fat Dave on rhythm guitar, Josh on bass, and Tyler on drums.
The Virus is actively playing shows and booking tours.
Simile (computer virus)
Win32/ Simile( also known as Etap and MetaPHOR) is a metamorphic computer virus written in assembly language for Microsoft Windows.
The virus was released in the most recent version in early March 2002.
It was written by the virus writer" Mental Driller".
Some of his previous viruses, such as Win95/ Drill( which used the TUAREG polymorphic engine), have proved very challenging to detect.
When the virus is first executed, it checks the current date.
If the host file( the file that is infected with the virus) imports the file User32. dll, then on the 17th of March, June, September, or December, a message is displayed.
Depending on the version of the virus, the case of each letter in the text is altered randomly.
On May 14( the anniversary of Israeli independence day), a message saying" Free Palestine!" will be displayed if the system locale is set to Hebrew.
The virus then rebuilds itself.
This metamorphic process is very complex and accounts for around 90% of the virus' code.
After the rebuild, the virus searches for executable files in folders on all fixed and remote drives.
Files will not be infected if they are located in a subfolder more than three levels deep, or if the folder name begins with the letter W. For each file that is found, there is a 50 percent chance that it will be ignored.
Files will not be infected if they begin with F, PA, SC, DR, NO, or if the letter V appears anywhere in the file name.
Due to the way in which the name matching is done, file names that contain certain other characters are also not infected, although this part is not deliberate.
The virus contains checks to avoid infecting" goat" or" bait" files( files that are created by anti-virus programs).
The infection process uses the structure of the host, as well as random factors, to control the placement of the virus body and the decryptor.

She is also known for distributing her albums in unconventional packaging.
" Cities of Gifts and Ghosts" was released in handmade wooden cases," Charlotte or Otis" featured a 20- page booklet of artwork inspired by the album's songs, and the vinyl edition of" All Our Little Bones" was released in a jacket which folds out into a playable board game inspired by a cross- Canada concert tour.
Michelangelo (computer virus)
The Michelangelo virus is a computer virus first discovered on 4 February 1991 in Australia.
The virus was designed to infect DOS systems, but did not engage the operating system or make any OS calls.
Michelangelo, like all boot sector viruses, operated at the BIOS level.
Each year, the virus remained dormant until March 6, the birthday of Renaissance artist Michelangelo.
There is no reference to the artist in the virus, and it is doubtful that the virus writer intended Michelangelo to be referenced to the virus.
The name was chosen by researchers who noticed the coincidence of the activation date.
The actual significance of the date to the author is unknown.
Michelangelo is a variant of the already endemic Stoned virus.
On March 6, if the PC is an AT or a PS/ 2, the virus overwrites the first one hundred sectors of the hard disk with nulls.
The virus assumes a geometry of 256 cylinders, 4 heads, 17 sectors per track.
Although all the user's data would still be on the hard disk, it would be irretrievable for the average user.
On hard disks, the virus moves the original master boot record to cylinder 0, head 0, sector 7.
On floppy disks, if the disk is 360 KB, the virus moves the original boot sector to cylinder 0, head 1, sector 3.
On other disks, the virus moves the original boot sector to cylinder 0, head 1, sector 14.
Although designed to infect DOS systems, the virus can easily disrupt other operating systems installed on the system since, like many viruses of its era, the Michelangelo infects the master boot record of a hard drive.
Once a system became infected, any floppy disk inserted into the system( and written to; in 1992 a PC system could not detect that a floppy had been inserted, so the virus could not infect the floppy until some access to the disk is made) becomes immediately infected as well.
And because the virus spends most of its time dormant, activating only on March 6, it is conceivable that an infected computer could go for years without detection — as long as it was n't booted on that date, while infected.
The virus first came to widespread international attention in January 1992, when it was revealed that a few computer and software manufacturers had accidentally shipped products, for example Intel's LANSpool print server, infected with the virus.
Although the infected machines numbered only in the hundreds, the resulting publicity spiraled into" expert" claims, partially led by anti-virus company founder John McAfee, of thousands or even millions of computers infected by Michelangelo.
However, on March 6, 1992, only 10,000 to 20,000 cases of data loss were reported.
In subsequent years, users were advised not to run PCs on March 6, waiting until March 7, or else reset the PC date to March 7 at some time on March 5( to skip March 6).
Eventually, the news media lost interest, and the virus was quickly forgotten.
Despite the scenario given above, in which an infected computer could evade detection for years, by 1997 no cases were being reported in the wild.
