Goto Symantec web site and search CIH virus.
If you have it, it will activate April 26.
It is a space filler.  It will garbage your BIOS boot chip and fill all
the empty spaces on your hard drive.

Quick fix, change the date on your computer to April 27 or later.
Scan for CIH and clean as required.
