EGABTR

EGABTR

EGABTR, sometimes pronounced "Eggbeater", was a Trojan horse program that achieved some level of notoriety in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Allegedly a graphics utility that would improve the quality of an EGA display, it actually was malware that deleted the file allocation tables on the hard drive.

[http://www.ciac.org/ciac/virdb/VIRS0387.TXT] . Various sources disagree as to the exact wording.
