Resident Extension Defined

In PC-DOS, programs can install a part of themselves in memory, and this part can remain active after the program has ended. This memory resident part is called a resident extension, since it is effectively an extension to the operating system. Many viruses install themselves as resident extensions, which will then look for files to infect when those files are accessed or executed later.
