DESCRIPTION
Stoned.Angelina is a low-risk boot virus that infects the MBR (Master Boot Record) of hard disks.
This is a very old virus. Apart from its ability to spread from computer to computer, it carries no payload (damage)
to the systems it infects.
The most common method of spreading is by booting from an infected floppy which is not scanned before being
used. Stoned.Angelina has no noteworthy features. It exists only to propagate (spread).
