This isn't really a thread-related query, but Virus Powercore and Virus Indigo TDM were software plugins that ran on external DSP-based hardware (TC Electronics Powercore [firewire], and Digidesign's Pro-Tools [DSP PCI cards] respectively).
Just like the UAD plugins of today, that require UAD hardware DSP [firewire/PCIe] to run. It's a closed proprietary system, with little chance of being pirated like standalone 'native' plugins would.
The plugins weren't developed further than the Virus 'B' engine.
