The worst one I had was this rogueware that would go away for a few months and come back later. It's a virus that says you have a virus and must purchase a fake anti virus for like $100 to fix it. And anytime you search anything with terms like "Virus" or "Malaware" on Google it would crash the browser. Eventually nothing would launch
Worst one was what tezuni said.oh god I also had this. My friend was at my house and I closed the sims and suddenly on my desktop HENTAI EVERYWHERE
A random porn popups and random google redirectation.
rootkit that basically fucked up my computer. it created like system64 or something and it took me literally 8 hours straight to fix.same here, i had to re install windows, it was annoying but, fortunately i had a portable hard drive to save my stuff
Forgot the name but I tells me that every file I try to open is a virus even though the thing that is a supposed "Anti-Virus software" is a virus itself and needs 39.99 for a full edition to uninstall, It's easy to install it using a format.
AV Security 2012 perhaps?The thing was it thought my internet driver was infected and disabled it and my chrome.exe, Firefox.exe, iexplore.exe where also infected
There are faked codes online that you can just put in to deactivate it, not a big issue.

One of those scummy "virus protection" programs where everything gets blocked unless you pay for the program. It was such a drag to fix. I don't let anyone use my latest PC so it has been fine for the year.
My finest memory with one of those viruses is when I tried opening everything and it would say it was infected (Task Manager, Notepad, Firefox, etc.). I got so pissed I tried to open Calculator, and for some reason I burst into treats for ten minutes when it told me Calculator was infected.the calculator was infected with number cruncher
the calculator was infected with number cruncherOh...gawd.
gitadumi.dll claimed my sibling's laptop.
I'm...You don't have to be sorry.

You don't have to be sorry.
It was a Compaq.
