     Name         : XCopy 2
 
     Aliases      : No Aliases

     Type         : Bootblock
     
     Size         : 1024 bytes

     Incidence    : No Incidence

     Discovered   : -

     Way to infect: KS2.04

     Rating       : Less Dangerous

     Kickstarts   : -
     
     Info         : Does NOT require trackdisk.device
                    KickTag, KickCheckSum, in the program DoIo, memory location with AllocMem
        
                    Procedure:
                    The next time you reset the screen will turn green.
                    ONLY if you press BOTH mouse buttons during the boot process, a normal BB
                    will be written.
                    It is NOT really a virus, because NOTHING happens WITHOUT the user's consent
                    and not everyone knows the key combination. But it modifies pointers and
                    though can be harmful for other programs
                    
                    Reason for the name: XCOPY2 can be read at the end of block 0. Block 1 is not
                    required by the BB program and is filled with 0.
