AI is a computer virus which infects .EXE files. The virus is loaded into memory by executing an infected program and then effects the computer's runtime operation and corrupts program or overlay files. It does not appear to work with all .EXE files but does infect standard DOS files easily. AI adds meaningless garbage bytes to the end of the hosts file.
