Which PC viruses have you got your system infected with?

I have got mine infected only once. It was that Chernobyl Virus, which spread in 1998 or 1999. I got it from a game CD!!! I didn't have internet then. So funny....

Oh I forgot to tell. Viruses that come into your system, but which are detected and deleted before infecting any file are not considered here ok?

Oh! yeah! how could I forget that one! the very first virus to hit my system.. I was using a Cyrix machine those days ha..ha.. Anyway it was in April if I'm not mistaken! Don't remember how the hell it got there I wasn't having a net connection either.. And another one called "Spiral (or something)" it continuously kept spinning a black and white spiral on the desktop, wont allow you to select anything.....

hmmmm.....after that there were few! But not really worth mentioning cuz, those were not impressive ha..ha.. But, the latest hit that swept this region was mid of last year a virus named "brontok"(I mentioned this before), that did hit almost every PC of my friends I know here so I guess that's worth mentioning!! ha..ha..

I was using a Pentium 166 (didn't even have MMX) when I got hit with Chernobyl. Dad told us not to turn it on on that day (24th of April iirc). I wonder how he knew!
