The Kriz virus (known more formally as W32.Kriz, W32.Kriz.dr, or PE_KRIZ) infects files on Windows 9x and Windows NT and 2000 systems. It has a potentially devastating payload that triggers on December 25th of any year once an infected file is run. When this happens, the virus overwrites files on the floppy disk drive, hard drive, RAM drive, and network drives.
