EXPLANATION

On a day like today, we remember one of the viruses that has caused the most headaches for users: Friday the 13 th.

The virus Jerusalem, also known as Friday the 13^th, was created in Israel in 1988 to celebrate the 40^th anniversary of the creation of the Jewish state.
To activate the virus, the calendar only had to hit Friday the 13^th and all the programs and files that were being used would be infected and eliminated.
There wasn’t a specific method to spread the virus, but that it was done through normal systems like floppies, CD-ROM or attachments in emails.

How It Works?

–  Infects files with extensions of COM, EXE or SYS and increases in size whenever the file is executed
–  It reduces the memory available on the computer
–  Causes your computer system to slow down
–  Every the Friday the 13th the virus is activated, and eliminates computer files that are used that day
