Hello,

  I wrote a small program to help handling the CIH attack
  every 26th day of the month.

  The program is passed parameters as days (e.g. 25, 26) and
  verifys them against the BIOS's day of the month.  If there
  is a match, the program alerts.  Then you can reboot and
  change the BIOS day to the 27th day of the month, and change
  it back to the correct one after a day or two.

  The program is useful when placed at the first line of the
  autoexec.bat file, so that it verifys the day before anything
  happens.

  It is written in 16-bit mode.  If there will be requests I can
  write a 32-bit one or add some enhancements, such as changing
  the BIOS's day from the program, etc.

  Zohar.
