[comp.sys.apple] finding the virus code I mentioned earlier

delton@pro-carolina.cts.COM (Don Elton) (07/24/88)

Files infected by the prodos based virus I mentioned earlier start with the
following code sequence:

        jmp     relocate



relocate jsr    $ff58
         tsx
         etc etc etc

This means that you can use a block editor with a hex search feature and look
for the string 20 58 FF BA BD to identify blocks containing the virus
relocator code.
