Copy: XXX
Comments : If you are booting with an Katrin infected disk, the virus copies
itself to $7EC00. To infect disks the virus patches the DOIO()-
Vector. Resident by changing the Cool-Vector. Sometimes a GFX-
Message appeares (while booting!)
Info : Only the text has been changed in the bootblock, it is a true copy
of Killed virus. After 25 years of antivirus work, I still can't
understand why anyone are doing this stuff. Use your Amiga for
something usefull, and don't make stuff like this.
