I think it was the old CIH virus from 1998 that over-wrote your harddrive and then tried to zap the bios.

For more info about what SF does in the hidden driver department and how this could potentially let a virus like the above harm your computer, do a google on StarForce and ring-0. If the information found is correct, is however open for discussion.
