[Virus informatique] Jerusalem: (...) Lorsque le système a été contaminé pendant 30 minutes, la zone comprise entre ligne 5/colonne 5 et ligne 16/colonne 16 de l'écran remonte de deux lignes, ce qui crée une «fenêtre noire». Le système ralentit alors en raison d'une boucle de ralentissement greffée sur chaque interruption du compteur.
