Ten years after the first major computer virus attack came this powerful and damaging virus known as CIH/Chernobyl. This owes its name thanks to a coincidence between the activation of this virus and the tragic date of the nuclear accident... April 26.
The virus acted by attacking the executable files of the Windows 95 and 98 software. Once lodged within the system, it spread to the hard drive. And this is where the worst happened because CIH/Chernobyl deleted the information contained in the computer.
