I don't know of any such virus.  I do know the 9805 worm (better know as
the AutoStart 9805 worm) is a virus which infects your computer primarily
through the QuickTime AutoStart mechanism, which looks for a file to
automatically execute on a volume.  There is a MacPerl-based program called
WormFood that can eradicate, supposedly.
