Virus Info The WXYC virus is a rather simple hard disk boot record, floppy boot sector infecting virus which uses a common technique called stealthing, which causes the system to point to a clean copy of the infected area rather then the infected area itself (this would be seen when you try to view the hard drive with a disk editing program and the virus is active in memory), in attempts to hide itself.
