If you think you had bad viruses, think again! I did a virus scan using
a very updated virus check, and after 3 hours of scanning, 3987 files
had been infected with viruses! What had happened was that there were a
about 15 viruses in total (Detected as Trojans and Worms) and one of
them duplicated itself about 3500 times! Bad hey! But now this
excellent *cough*registered/licenced*cough* program has now managed to
"clean" them all out. Yay! What really bad virus experiences have you
had?

Ouch! The virus that duplicated itself was called "Vongo" or something.
Many of the viruses were classified as Trojans and Worms, so I aint to
happy about that. Proberly explains why I recieved so much spam then :/
I would love to change the world, But they would'nt give me the source code.

it out of my computer :biggrin:
"*cough*registered/licenced*cough*<span style="color: silver;">"
<span style="color: white;">Ofcourse
everyone knows that you have a registered product, which you DO
have...Which is obviously impossible for you to download it for free
and crack it :razz:

the worst thing i had was 40 different "sleeping" trojans in my "system
volume information" folder, just waiting to be activated =P.
After some fiddling, the trojans got killed.

Haha I think i've beaten you all!
My old computer which I had no idea how to use back then was using a demo virus scanner so it never updated and thus I finally scanned with a purchased Mcafee to find it contained roughly 10,000 viruses and I wondered why my computer had gone crazy...

No. That's bulls**t. You may not have known you had one, but you've had one.
Do you have absolutely no write access to your own computer while you've got an active connection, with a quantum encrypted root password?
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.
