	Excel97Macro/Divi.AI
		X97M/Divi.AI is a trivial variant of Divi.N, being a copy of that virus with a couple of functionally insignificant code changes relative to that variant.
		Should the virus not be running from the resident copy and the resident copy exists, all that happens on opening an infected workbook is that the CopyVolumesData routine is called.
		This ensures all volume serial numbers that all instances of the virus that pass through a target machine have 'seen' are recorded in the resident copy of virus on that machine.

		Ideally, the lab should try to identify some core code in the virus that is not likely to change and use this as the virus signature to scan for.
		The virus' response to that is to reset the directory's date as well.
		Another way for the virus to try to escape detection is to make sure its representation on the disk does not look at all like its representation in the antivirus software's database.

		This virus might thus be very old (might in theory pre-date the Signum Virus) and it is a miracle that is had slipped through the attention of all virus killers until 1989.
		This virus patched the XBIOS vector in such an effective way that, once the virus is in memory, it even patches bootsector reads to hide its presence.

	Fighting EPO Viruses
		The virus must reset the "hooked" call before returning the execution to the host.
		The main problem is that the virus is encrypted and the polymorphic decryptor will decrypt the full virus body several times.
		The only problem is that the call comes from allocated memory (the virus allocated it, copied itself and continued execution from there).

	Formal Virus Check
		virus checking is that no code is allowed to run from the hard drive during the process, as code viruses may take steps to avoid detection or re-infect the system if they can run first.
		After cleaning system, reset and set boot order in CMOS back to C: before A: (or "IDE 0" as First Boot Device) to prevent exposure to boot viruses on infected diskettes that might be left in the system on future power up or reset
		For example, if you "know" the only threat is a Word macro virus that does not act as a "dropper" for code viruses, you don't have to do a formal clean; you can use the scanner from within Windows.

	PDA Participatory Simulations @ MIT
		To start a game, go to the virus menu in the upper left, and click on new game. It will kick you back out to the name screen with your name already filled in. Everyone should start the second round together.
		In order for the game to work well you will need to create three kinds of people - Regular, Immune and Patient Zero. The regular people should be all set by default. But remember that you'll need to make sure that all of the players play in the same mode.
		Then we say “If I could reset everyone and play again what would you do to figure this out?” We try not to steer the group towards any particular experiment, but after some time (10-15 min) we try to steer them towards getting some sort of consensus on an experiment to run.

	Fighting EPO Viruses
		When a virus infects a file, it must find some way to attain control and be executed.
		Such virus activity is very easy to detect, as it usually results in files whose entry-point resides outside the code section, and are therefore marked as suspicious by a virus scanner.
		The Phage virus doesn't modify the entry-point of an infected file, instead it scans all over the host code section and searches for API calls generated by Borland or the Microsoft linker.
