MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

The term "companion virus" refers to an older type of computer virus which doesn't alter files and works by creating infected companion file with the exact same name as the legitimate program, but with different file extension. The virus takes advantage of the fact that in the old MS-DOS command-line interface executables can be run by providing only the file name which facilitates the execution of infected code by an unaware user.
