Le plus simple type de virus, celui dont les effets apparaissent très rapidement et qui détruit le code du programme hôte par recouvrement sans qu'il soit possible de le reconstituer. 4, record 1, French, - virus%20recouvrant
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
virus par recouvrement : La force d'un virus par recouvrement est que la taille du programme infecté n'est pas modifiée ce qui rend un repérage fondé sur la variation de la taille des programmes inopérant. La faiblesse [du virus] est que le programme infecté ne peut plus s'exécuter totalement normalement : de ce fait, l'utilisateur peut détecter assez rapidement le virus. 2, record 1, French, - virus%20recouvrant
