Anyways, i was wondering what some of your most memorable spyware/virus/trojan, etc. are?
I think the one i remember most from my youth is the Michaelangelo Virus from the early 90s. I had a friend who got infected with that from a 5.25" floppy.
Other than that, probably one of the ones i remember most is Gator, since so many of the people in my dorm were infected with it.
What are some of the most memorable for you?

all a malware has is it's coding. Trust me, they have their uses, but an average guy should be able to handle some malware. I really think less of anyone who thinks otherwise.
You'd pay to see me set up a firewall? You're sick.
I really dont see what is so hard to understand. I WOULD WIN in a fight between me and a piece of malware. I have a countermove to anything a computer virus might throw at me. If you sick a buffer overflow exploit on me, it will die.
For example, Say I get a suspicious e-mail attachment. Boom- I throw that in the trash! I take it down, and my natural grappling techniques take over. I can lock my other arm around it's neck and choke it out. I have plenty of options pup.
