Aircop is a computer virus which infects the Boot Sectors of Floppy Disk. Every eight or so times that it infects a new diskette, it displays the message "RED STATE, Germ offensing --Aircop" (presumably an attempt to say "Condition red, virus attack"). This virus is incapabile of infecting hard drives.
