General Comments:
The Crash or 1075 virus has had many samples submitted over the last
few months. The original samples were from the USSR in December,
1990. All submitted samples of this "virus" do not replicate on an
XT or 386 based personal computer. Instead, the system crashes when
the sample file is executed. It may replicate under some other
system configurations.
