FunLove
 
Short description (11/99)

FunLove is a classical Win32 virus which is able to infect Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT executables. What makes it interesting is that, when it is run under administrator privilege, it is able to patch the Windows NT kernel in a way that gives ANY user full administrator rights.
