The Acme Virus is an encrypted computer virus which infects .EXE files. The virus is loaded into memory by executing an infected program and then affects the computer's runtime operation and corrupts program or overlay files. Acme is a fast and simple companion virus, written for the Crypt newsletter. The virus creates a spawned copy of itself for every .EXE file it can find in the current directory. Acme was based on the Zeno virus. Research Acme Virus
