Comments : The Frenchkiss-virus is 2560 bytes long. The virus
installs 2560 bytes on every infection. -> Block 2, 3,
4, 5 is DAMAGED (no salvage for theses blocks, sorry.)
I only have Block 0, 1 of the virus. The only thing I
can say about it is that the virus copies itself to
$7F0D0 and patches the Vec5-Vector => $94(A6). To
infect other disks the virus uses the DoIO()-Vector.
Removal : Kickstart 1.2 & 1.3 : VT-Schutz v3.17
Kickstart all others: VirusZ III, and also Xvs.library must be installed
Test made by : Safe Hex International
