SillyC.512 is a very simple virus. When it is executed, it enters a FindFirst/FindNext loop, looking for .com files that exist in the same directory as the virus. It then infects all .com files that it finds.
The virus contains a bug that causes infected files to crash. However, the bug will not be encountered until the end of the viral code. Therefore, this virus is able to replicate.
