. Zohra is a simple memory-resident file infector for DOS with an interesting payload. It requires having a minimum MS-DOS version of 5 (6 is more likely) to work properly. When an infected program is loaded Zohra becomes memory-resident and is supposed to infect .COM and .EXE files (it's possible it may not).
Payload:
When it is April 14th and an infected program is run Zohra will "scroll" ASCII text across all lines on the display while changing colors. Eventually it gets to a point of solid green where the screen is disappearing line-by line until it is blank and then displays
"Zohra will live forever! Necromancy be with her..."
Zohra then halts the system

Zohra means "Venus" in Arabic, which is also a given female name.
