Elk Cloner: The Program with a Personality
It will get on all your disks
It will infiltrate your chips
Yes, it's Cloner!
It will stick to you like glue
It will modify RAM too
Send in the Cloner!
A copy of a virus will be placed in the computers memory and when an uninfected disk is inserted it infects the disk as well.
