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?

I asked this in your guide post that I just now found, but I'll ask it again.
I don't understand how something can self execute. If an executable is downloaded to my temp folder, don't I still have to run it or be tricked into running it somehow?
Also, I just realized now after reading your post that her computer is the one computer that has JAVA on it for a specific application. It was installed with that application, and again, only on her computer. Since she didn't have admin privs, she never could have updated. I remember when I logged on at some point telling it to update out of habit but I didn't think anything of it. That would explain how a fully patched machine could have the fuck up she had.
The post has been reported. Thank you!
