[comp.os.msdos.programmer] Hacked Format

od9425@sjfc.UUCP (Ogden Dumas) (01/12/91)

I found a hacked Format command ( called FORMAT!).  It appears to format 
just like real format, but it contains the following string:

	MusicBug v1.06.  Macrosoft Corp/Inc

	Made in Tawain

Now, my question is this:  Could this FORMAT! be the CARRIER for the Music
bug?  If I do a disk copy, the bug is not copied.  If I format using this
hacked mess, the bug is install on the boot sector.  Also this hacked
version check to see if there is: SYSTEM.COM  COMMAND.COM  CHKDSK.COM
ATTRIB.COM and the two hidden files.  
Comments?? Thoughts??

Also is there anyone out there who works for Microsoft??  What do you have
to say about this??

Later
