The CIH virus infects executable files and is spread by executing
an infected file. Since many files are executed during normal use of
a computer, the CIH virus can infect many files quickly.
There are several variants of the CIH virus. Some activate every
month on the 26th, while other variants activate just on April 26th or
June 26th. Once the CIH virus activates, the virus attempts to erase
the entire hard drive and to overwrite the system BIOS. Some machines
may require a new BIOS chip to recover if overwritten by the CIH
virus. CIH only affects Win95/98 machines.
More technical details about the CIH virus can be found at the
following site.

Hope this is some good knowledge base for your project.
CIH, also known as Chernobyl or Spacefiller, is a computer virus written by Chen Ing Hau (陳盈豪, pinyin: Chén Yíngháo) of Taiwan. It is considered to be one of the most harmful widely circulated viruses, overwriting critical information on infected system drives, and more importantly, in some cases corrupting the system BIOS.
The name "Chernobyl Virus" was coined some time after the virus was already well-known as CIH, and refers to the complete coincidence of the payload trigger date in some variants of the virus (actually the virus writer's birthday) and the Chernobyl accident, which happened in the Ukrainian SSR on April 26, 1986.
