Viruses often (but not always) contain harmful code which is triggered by some event, after a certain number of reproductions, or on a specific date. See also worm. scanning module by Frans Veldman.

Because the inputs and outputs of the calls are well-defined, a program using the API can continue using the identical calls even if the internal organization of the program providing the API changes.. current versions of TBScanX don't actually check the value of BX SeeAlso: AX=4653h/CX=0002h,AX=4653h/CX=0007h,AX=C900h
