The "Falling Letters Boot Virus" is the name that we use around here
for the boot-sector virus that's also known as "the Israeli Boot Virus"
and "the Swapping Virus".  Hope that clears that one up!

I've heard the name "Palette" used to refer to the 1536 or "Zero Bug"
virus.   I've never been sure where that name came from; I think the
first infected file found was a palette utility, or something like
that?
