Back just before the millenium my local college lost about 30 or so brand new computers cos' of a virus that overwrote their flash Bios'es with random gibberish. Said Bios chips were soldered directly to the motherboard so they couldn't even be easily replaced.
It was called CIH. Here in germany a local computer maginze offered to retoast to chips.
I heard about the HD destroyer too - it was supposed to be something to do with setting up a vibration in the drive heads that destroyed the slipstream layer the head rides on. Nobody I know has ever _actually_ seen it happen tho.
May be an urban myth. I also onced heard about a monitor destroyer. It ought to overclocke the monitor. But in fact, all my monitors (purchesed since 1995) switch off, if the frequence jump out of range...
