Mr Anon..... following up one of your posts, I found this article in
the Virus Bulletin about the Toadie virus. Interesting.

VIRUS BULLETIN.  OCTOBER 1999.  PAGE 3

Sad Spawn

In August, the virus writer known variously as Dustin
Cook, Raid or Casio released HLL Toadie.7800. This high
level language (Asic) virus is also a direct action prepender.

Toadie is a DOS-based virus that was designed to infect
both DOS and Windows executables (the only problem with
it is that a DOS box will temporarily appear on execution of
an infected Windows executable). The virus will not infect
between 3pm and 5pm and infected files will not run
between 9pm and 12pm. When an infected file is run at 17
minutes past the hour, the virus will display the message:

TOADiE v1.2 - Raid [SLAM] 

As well as spreading in the ‘normal' manner, the author
tried to make the virus spread via USENET groups (in the
form of a cell phone cloner and a generator for adult Web
site passwords). Similar distribution of a porn list via
USENET may soon get the Melissa author into trouble.

If the directory C:\MIRC exists then the virus will place a
copy of itself in it, and drop a SCRIPT.INI file. If Pegasus
Mail is installed, it will attempt to add a copy of itself as an
attachment. This procedure is very temperamental and does
not seem to work in the majority of cases. If the virus is
spread by one of these methods it will display one of five
possible messages at the DOS prompt. The messages are
puerile attempts at humorous poetry.

Unfortunately, this virus is in the wild, having infected the
Austrian office of a big multinational on its release.
