Probably a copyvio from the Probert encyclopedia http://www.probertencyclopaedia.com/L2.HTM
The other interpretation, that they copied it from Wikipedia, seems unlikely, since this is written in the same format as all the other computer virus entries in the Probert encyclopedia.
More concerning, I couldn't find any sources, besides those based on Wikipedia or Probert, that this virus actually exists. HamburgerRadio (talk) 06:49, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. A virus that infects command.com and damages the FAT. It's not surprising that the nom cannot find any sources on a DOS-era virus. While notability is not temporary, there's nothing to suggest that this one is different from any of the thousands of run-of-the-mill computer viruses.

- Delete. This virus is even less notable than Parchive, which also lacks in non-trivial coverage. JBsupreme (talk) 09:11, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
