This is a multipartite DOS virus that infects COM and EXE files under DOS, partition table (MBR) of hard disks and boot sectors of floppy disks. The virus stays in memory when an infected file is executed or when the computer is booted from an infected disk. When the virus is active in the memory, it will be infecting all the EXE and COM files opened or executed and it will be infecting the boot sector of all the floppy disks accessed. The virus infects the partition table of the hard disk the first time it infects the computer. The virus adds 4744, 4746, 4774 or 4988 bytes while infecting the file depending on the perticular variant of this virus. Natas is a stealth virus so it tries to hide its presence.
