Re:Same old... (Score 1)

There are already worms that do that sort of stuff, one example being W32.Magistr. Apart from the proper english, it sounded like it does what you want it to. e.g. it overwrites the boot sector of the first IDE hard drive, erases the CMOS, flashes the BIOS, corrupts/deletes text files, and much more. Plus it can send itself to people in the victim's Outlook, Netscape and (in the newer version, which is linked) Eudora address books. Too bad it is old and the virus scanners can detect it.
