I highly doubt that reset code executes from resident vectors without checking checksums first, so if you have IRQs disabled and cleared the vector or checksum and you do a reset, for any virus it is impossible to reinject itself.
But someone could have patched _LVOColdReboot()..
Well, destroying execbase sure do the job
