Particularities:None Displayed text: "Bloody! Jun. 4 1998" June_4th ruins the BPB of floppies it infects, whichis often problematic.The virus counts the number of reboots since the harddisc was infected by incrementing a counter in the MBRand writing the MBR back to disc. If the number ofreboots is 128, 128+8, 128+16, etc, then the messageis displayed.Floppy infection is attempted on *every* Int13Read andInt13Write, causing a noticeable surfeit of floppydrive activity on infected machines.
