New Age Virus READ

[Secretkiller2000]

I first heard of this virus several years ago, it was apperantly suppose to be the "Ultimate" Virus, though just last month i heard that they stopped work on the Virus due to accidental infections. The virus was rumored to actually be so cleverly made that once infected, it will infect then host after a few days of infection and disrupt the hard drive severly, it was said the only way for you to know your actually infected is if on opening your computer you recieve a message "Hard disk Drive failure imminent" or something like that, this is all i know, though none of this information has been proven to be any more then rumor, i thought that i should post it here since my brothers computer suffered from this failure and its gotten me alittle worried. Download Safely.

Chances are, his hard disk suffered from that sort of failure becasue it wore out and needed replacing. That's usually what happens when you get that sort of message at POST. Viruses generally can't do that sort of damage.
