Form was a boot sector virus isolated in Switzerland in the summer of 1990 which became very common worldwide. The origin of Form is widely listed as Switzerland, but this may be an assumption based on its isolation locale. The only notable characteristics of Form are that it infects the boot sector instead of the Master Boot Record (MBR) and the clicking noises associated with some infections. Infections under Form can result in severe data damage if operating system characteristics are not identical to those Form assumes.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Form ist der Name einer Gruppe von Bootsektorviren für DOS-Rechner. Das originale Virus wurde erstmals im Juni 1990 auf einem Computer in der Schweiz entdeckt. Es wird vermutet, dass der Urheber aus dem Kanton Zug stammt. Form gehörte Anfang bis Mitte der 1990er Jahre zu den verbreitetsten Computerviren weltweit. Die letzte Meldung war im Jahr 2006. (de)
  • Form was a boot sector virus isolated in Switzerland in the summer of 1990 which became very common worldwide.

The only notable characteristics of Form are that it infects the boot sector instead of the Master Boot Record (MBR) and the clicking noises associated with some infections. Infections under Form can result in severe data damage if operating system characteristics are not identical to those Form assumes. It is notable for arguably being the most common virus in the world for a period during the early 1990s. (en)
