[BootBl: AMIGA-DOS uses two standardized bootsectors as one BootBlock;
 ResetRes1: GYROS, NorthStar I/II, Obelisk and SCA/AEK Viruses become
            "Reset Resident" via manipulation of Capture Vector
 ResetRes2: Byte Bandit, Byte Warrior, Camouflage, IRG-Team and Lamer
            viruses become "reset Resident" via manipulation of KickTag
            Pointer)]

(Remark: unqualified information about several more viruses, including
    names WARHAWK-V. and LSD-V. could not be confirmed up to date)

*SHOE Virus            BootS/---        TransDamage

(Remark: Out of the multiplicity of MSDOS viruses, only a few have
 in FRG; it is therefore difficult to receive copies for analysis)


5) Information Policy:
- ----------------------
5.1 Entries published in the Computer Virus Catalogue may be copied and
    edited if the original source ("Computer Virus Catalogue, Virus Test
    Center, University of Hamburg/Germany") is properly referenced and
    changes applied are mentioned.

5.2 Several "NoName" Viruses have been produced in or are known to Virus
    Test Center, Hamburg; such systems include MVS and VM, VMS and UNIX;
    moreover, viruses with different replication strategies in MSDOS and
    other PC systems have been tested. Since such "Test" viruses are
    only produced to analyse proper defense methods (which maybe needed
    in some future), it is the general information policy *not to dis-
    tribute further information*  in the Computer Virus Catalogue until
    such viruses appear in "real world".
