Stealth capabilities are used to hide changes in files sizes due to infection. The virus also prevents itself from infecting .EXE files with the letters S or V in the name (typically found in many anti-virus software applications).
If the virus infects at 14 minutes after any hour, it will display a small flashing message, "Buglar/H", in the upper left corner of the screen.
