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?

Well, her office partner called in a guy who also called in a guy and they tried this and that and they said there wasn't anything they could do against CIH and they were fucked.
Well, I had the exact same make/model of hard drive in my PC and I was not infected. So I thought to myself, what would be the harm in copying over my boot sector?
I found some HEX editing tool and started copying large chunks over at a time until I started seeing data again and sure enough, it matched up.
Anyways, we put the drives back in and they booted up and it was all good. We made backups and they kept going. I made a post on a few BBSes about how I was able to recover and for awhile you could find my name associated with some of the early tools to recover from CIH but not anymore. I was quite proud of myself.
The post has been reported. Thank you!
