Chaque fois que le programme est lancé le virus s'exécute puis «rend la main» au programme qui fonctionne alors de la façon normale. La force d'un virus par ajout est que le programme infecté semble fonctionner normalement ce qui peut retarder la détection du virus. [Sa faiblesse] est que la taille du programme est augmentée de la taille du virus, ce qui rend un repérage fondé sur la variation de la taille des programmes possible.

Virus que se oculta en la memoria de acceso aleatorio o memoria RAM y afecta a todos los programas o ficheros en el momento en el que empiezan a ejecutarse.
