RE: your worst Viruses, Worms, and hackings in your computer
No viruses in my life. Reason is simple. When I was dumb enough to get virus easily, I didn't have internet access yet and now I just keep away from them. And ofcourse, guardangel NAT. :)

But lots of worms. :D

Back in the old days, when virusses weren't as lame as the once today and weren't spread thru Messengers or activex objects or whatnot, I once got one which overwrote the boot sector, partitition table and parts of the FAT... You could say byebye to your HDD after that...

Todays virusses are realy lame and childsplay compared to some oldies real virusses...

on the same topic, but with a twist... The funniest I ever got was the infamous Yankee Doodle Virus. It played the Yankee Doodle song each time it infected a file, lol. You almost let it run and do its thing just to hear that song :p

As of the age of Windows, I actually never got infected by a virus (yet)...

RE: your worst Viruses, Worms, and hackings in your computer
I have had some hardcore spyware rip IE and some other stuff apart, but it was on a virtual machine so it didn't matter (I was too lazy to not use IE on the vm); I just deleted the whole virtual machine instead of fixing it when it became unuseable. I've also purposefully infected a unix (freebsd) virtual machine with what is called a "kaiten" a type of IRC drone that roots a *nix based OS, and also a few perl-based drones to see how badly they damage unix machines. Never infected myself though, but I do keep a collection of rbot, agobot and sdbot IRC based trojans in a folder that I study to help clean drones on IRC, along with a few compiled drones that I've stolen from runners that have been disassembled and played with to help me clean that runners botnet out.

Viruses= 2 years ago when i bought an infected pirated cd :P all it was is that you couldn't change the screensaver and it came on after a minute of non-usage
Trojans/Spyware/Adware=none
Tracking Cookies=Billions :P

Never had a virus, never been hacked, the worst I've had is tracking cookies, which everyone gets. I have downloaded viruses, however all that I know have were filtered out by my AV.
