Each time the virus attaches to the end of a file, it drops a byte from the front of the virus initialization code, thus eventually after a few generations this virus will become unusable, and the machine will crash. When activated, the text "SMA Khetapunk - Nouvel Band A.M.O.E.B.A by Primesoft Inc." appears on the screen. To prevent reinfection, it uses F3 interrupt vector, if the value is CDCD it figures it is resident and won't infect. It was written with an unusual assembler.
