I don't know for sure because the anti-virus companies are so conflicting
in their hype. From all email I have seen on it, it appears that it writes
over at least the first 1MB of disk (I KNOW it writes to disk, how much is
actually overwritten is in question) and it basicly destroys the flash
BIOS. For the AVERAGE user, that makes the system destroyed.
