RE: your worst Viruses, Worms, and hackings in your computer
I haven't had one for about 3 years now - before that it was mostly due to my brothers downloading things.

Right now I run Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition which means a centrally located update facility and quarrantine.

I do however receive about 85 viruses a day in my mailbox for mybboard.com and surfionline.com, they're picked up by the server and then a notice with pretty graphs is sent to me whilst others which aren't caught are deteced by Symantec Antivirus.

Note, I also run a hardware (well its software really) Smoothwall firewall box on my connection which basically drops alot of incoming packets from dodgy places and into dodgy ports so being behind this firewall with NAT makes things pretty secure.

For anyone interested here are the stats for viruses hitting my email accounts for yesterday:

1. Worm.SomeFool.Z - 6
2. Worm.Mydoom.M -6
3. Worm.Bagle.AG - 8
4. HTML.Phishing.Bank-28 - 2
5. HTML.Phishing.Auction-42 - 2
6. HTML.Phishing.Bank-31 - 2
7. Worm.Bagle.Gen-zippwd - 4
8. Worm.SomeFool.AA-2 - 4
9. Worm.SomeFool.Gen-1 - 6
10. HTML.Phishing.Bank-49 - 4
11. HTML.Phishing.Bank-3 - 2
12. Worm.SomeFool.P - 28
13. Exploit.HTML.IFrame - 11
