CHERNOBYL VIRUS

The Chernobyl virus or CIH virus, as it is also known, is a computer virus, first identified in the summer of 1998, that infects executable files on computers using the Windows 95 or Windows 98 operating systems. The virus is spread by executing an infected file, causing multiple additional files to be infected on the host machine. There are a number of variants of the Chernobyl virus, some activate every month on the 26th day, other variants activate on a single day, such as just on April 26th or June 26th. Activation of the virus payload results in the virus attempting to erase the entire hard drive and to overwrite the system BIOS if the computer is fitted with a flash BIOS.
