EXE_Bug is a historical PC boot-sector virus. The provided content states that it manipulates CMOS settings so the system appears to have no floppy drives present, causing the PC to bypass floppy boot attempts and boot from the infected hard disk instead. This behavior can fake out the boot process and interfere with recovery procedures that rely on booting from a clean floppy disk. No additional high-confidence details on infection vector, payload beyond CMOS tampering, associated threat actor, targeted industries, or specific indicators of compromise are provided in the content.
