RE: your worst Viruses, Worms, and hackings in your computer
I remember having an old computer, no Internet access at all. But somehow, a game that my mom bought me had a virus, which infected every single EXE in my hard drive.  I lost a couple of good programs that came with that PC (it was pre-owned).
Next, I got that weird virus that was supposed to reboot your computer in one minute, when you connected to the Internet (this was in my laptop) and disallow copy-pasting, among other stuff. The thing is, the countdown always froze and I managed to download a removal tool without having to go to a cyber. 
Yeah, and I used to get tons of spyware when I was n00b(er)...

Exactly. 
Not to offend the n00bs users who use Internet Explorer.

RE: your worst Viruses, Worms, and hackings in your computer
I only recall getting one virus. And we didn't even know we had it. Got a friend to upgrade our computer or something and he said we had a die hard virus on it. Heh, that was when we first got the net.

it probably deleted the Open entry in the shell menu, therefore defaulting to the Winamp menu, first option being Compress Spoiler: the game.

My mom trying to send an email behind my back is worse than any virus.

RE: your worst Viruses, Worms, and hackings in your computer
All I ever get is spyware and adware....a virus comes like once or twice a year...
Usually from *cough* warez sites*cough* on IE....but now I use Maxthon, which does great at blocking popups, continuious pop ups. etc... I'm locked down pretty good actually.....
