Oli is a boot sector virus for the Atari ST. When an infected disk is booted, the virus becomes memory resident and attaches itself to Hdv_rw and trap #14 vector. It infects disks as they are accessed, including the hard disk. It is capable of surviving a system reset.
Oli has a payload that activates after every 20th disk infection. It will display the text "OLI-VIRUS installed ." on the screen. It then hooks itself on an interrupt vector, slowing the system down. It may also corrupt disk data, whether or not this is intentional is unknown.
