	I also have a disk inflected by this one.
	Interesting is that it inflects every writable disk
	inserted in machine. I have some diffulties to destroy
	it, because "install" doesn't for some reason wipe it.

	Vcheck1.9 sees it as nonstandard boot sector and it
	is very easy to spot, as text "Virus by bytebandit"
	is written at beginning.
