I checked virus maker a bit more and this is what it does. It knows
three viruses (my mistake, last time) and it can put one of the three
on a diskette that you insert to the disk drive. This program was
written by some programmers who call themself 'MUGS'. These are the
three viruses:

1) Virus JJ/88 - As the program says, it will attack the ROM for an hour.
2) Virus FX/48 - This virus will delay the computer every time you turn it
                 on.

3) Mug's virus - This virus will harm the BIOS and the micro
                 alternator system (MAS). After operating this
                 function turn off the computer for at least 14
                 minutes and don't put this disk in you computer's
                 drive.

Ok, this is what they say!

I haven't tried running (i was afraid something counld happen)
although i think what they are saying is rubish because how can they
harm an EPROM or how can they access the ROM?! It's impossible!

Has anyone seen any of this viruses?
