Description: W95.CIH infects Windows 95 executables. When an infected program is run, the virus goes Memory resident. It then affects n\other program as they are opened. What this means is that an infected system must be rebooted from a clean system disk before scanning an AntiVirus product. If this is not done, the virus will infect every file that the AntiVirus product scans. W95.CIH is triggered on the 26th of the month; this may cause the entire contents of the system's hard drive to be lost.
