Quoting from Samid Hoda to All About Jerusalem (Israeli) Virus on 12-20-92

Jerusalem B is a file infector. It runs as a TSR, and will infect every 
executable file you run except for .COM files larger than 62K. I believe 
the virus is around 1800 bytes long.
 
McAfee's Clean can remove this virus fairly easy to remove. It would be a 
very good idea to re-boot the computer from a known clean bootable 
diskette. If you don't have a clean bootable diskette, go ahead and type 
the following on the command line.
 
CLEAN C: [JERU]
 
after Clean gets finished, turn your computer off for a few seconds, then 
back on. The reason for this is that since Jerusalem-B runs as TSR. After 
the computer is clean, make a bootable diskette, then place a write 
protect tab on the notch. Then the next time you have another virus, you 
will be ready.
 
I hope this has been of help to you.

Bill
