Default Have you ever gotten a data destroying virus?

LOL. i have.. my last known virus was in 98.
I was sitting at my PC, surfing the net when all of a sudden a window popped open and started deleting files. I sat there in awe.. for a bit.. lol.. i tried the ctl alt del and then finally hit reset..
it had destroyed most of my .DLL's and VXD's, that was a bad night..

This kind of virus is really annoying and disastrous if the deletion of the files starts when you are afk. Lucky to be there

I've never had one before, but on an old computer (when I never heard of "anti-virus") I did a virus scan before I got a newer computer and my old computer came up with over 300 viruses..... for some reason my computer was still able to do stuff with all of those viruses. O_o

lol I got one where you saw Bill Gates' face on a Monopoly board. After 5 minutes watching that (I couldn't do anything else), the computer shutdown. The BIOS didn't detect any OSs installed Win98...

ahaha that would suck...

I had Bonzi buddy... and my dad installed it on computers at work. Haha it was a cool virus... He played games, sung, danced, he was awesome.

I think people are still downloading him probably

and Kazaa was a mean one too...
now I rarely get anything more than tracking cookies detected by adaware, lol
