     Comments     : The Executors Virus is another Disk Herpes clone.
                    Only the texts were changed. The intire surface
                    at track 79 (the Root: < dir >) is overwritten
                    with zeroes.

                    Does not need the trackdisk.device, so, probably
                    it can infect a harddisk too

                    Damage: The intire surface at track 79 (the Root:
                    < dir >) is overwritten with zeroes.

                    When the counter in some copies is incremented
                    to 5 by infecting  other disks the following text
                    will be displayed:

                         HI ! THE EXECUTORS ARE HERE

                        Some of your fucking Disks are

                             Greets are going to :
