This is years ago now, but I remember hearing about one such virus for Windows that would actually hide itself in the RAM for the video card of the infected PC. So, if you thought you got rid of it from the computer but only rebooted instead of shutting the computer down, it would reinstall itself again at startup.

Only way to kill it was to shut down the computer so the video card RAM was purged as well.
