[comp.virus] Ping-Pong variants

frisk@uunet.uu.net (Fridrik Skulason) (08/28/89)

I have now seen three different variants of the ping-pong virus. The
only difference is the character that bounces around the screen.

The (original ?) version where the character is a dot is the most
common one, but a version that uses the "diamond" (character number 4)
is also fairly common here. Finally, I have seen a version that
displays a "smiley" (character number 2) at one site.

Are the two modified versions known elsewhere in the world or are they
just local mutations ?
