Don't panic the Virus is very harmless >and don't damage your Computer. WHOAA! Thats not exactly true. While the VIRUS will not damage your hardware it could very well destroy some commercial products!! There are quite a few commercial games that use the boot block to store information and copy protection schemes if the VIRUS overwrites this information ZAPP goes your game!!! Just another good reason to run from backups!!
