Information about the Parity virus:
This virus infects the boot sector of floppy disks and the partition table (MBR) of the
hard disks. The virus infects the computer when booted with an infected disk. The virus
infects the hard disk the first time it infects the computer. When the virus is active in the
memory, it will be infecting the boot sector of all the floppy disks if write protect notch is
open. Since this is a stealth virus, changes made to floppy will not be noticed when it is in
memory.
Parity virus first appeared in 1994 and it is in the wild.
Other names of Parity virus:
This worm is also known as Parity.B, Parity_Boot.b.
