If it copies itself to disks and multiplies, it's potentialy as dangerous as a normal virus. Why not just use the boot sector checking program to check your boot sector if you believe there's a virus on your disk? I personally don't want a program scattered on my disks that I didn't put there myself. I'm sure many others feel the same.
