Does anyone remember the ping-pong virus, or the Brain? Maybe even the "ILOVEYOU" e-mail?
Let's talk about viruses, as i gain more information from the forum. As myself, i will also.

List

ILOVEYOU - May 4th, 2000; The email attachment was the virus, and if clicked it would spread through the person that opened it's contact list, and messing with file extensions,

Casino De Malte - ????; When your computer is infected, this virus plays 'casino' with you, and if you restarted your computer, it's data would be wiped, and if you win, you keep your data, HOWEVER, if you lose, your data will be wiped.

YOUAREANIDIOT - ????; It is a website with the extension ".com".

People had to click the 'love letter' attachment, it e-mailed itself to all the contacts that person had in the list, also it does mess up extensions.

The 'Burn' virus is still about in the middle east, it's one of the first. Surprising it can still function, considering the storage format it was designed to save itself to declined in use nearly two decades ago.
