http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/virdb/VIRS0897.TXT explains the Die_Lamer
(aka VLamiX) virus:
"VLamiX is a resident file virus; it infects EXE files when they are
executed, and
appends an encrypted copy of itself.
The virus contains several bugs. It often manages to corrupt files
irreparably instead of infecting
them.
...
It also activates when it sees the text -=*@DIE_LAMER@*=- on-screen. At
that time, it will overwrite a floppy in the B: drive, if
such exists."
