Stealth Virus
Stealth Virus is a Virus item that was released in late 2004. [1] It can be acquired through virus programming and can be sold to (but not purchased at) Cyber Force. The Stealth virus has the highest sell value and the highest value per day of programming (netting $2,000 per programming day) out of any virus item.
The Stealth Virus is used in "Plant a Computer Virus" crimes.
Obtaining
The Stealth Virus can be programmed using a Personal Computer, Laptop, or Gold Laptop after completion of the CMT2560 Algorithms and Advanced Programming Education course. A Stealth Virus takes 100 days to program. It can also be traded between players. Stealth Viruses cannot be found through city finds. [2]
The programming time for a Stealth Virus can be reduced through various methods. With all Education completed, the Stealth Virus's programming time will be 70 days, or 17 days with all coding time reductions. Viruses always finish coding shortly after 03:25 TC Time. [3] Programming will continue even if a player disposes of all their computers.
| Methods of Reducing Virus Programming Time | ||
|---|---|---|
| Method | Reduction | |
| Working at a Software Corporation | 50% | |
| Owning a Dividend Block of I Industries Ltd. | 50% | |
| Completion of the "CMT2580 Software Engineering" Education course | 20% | |
