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

Mine changed my desktop background and froze the shit out of everything. Fixed it within a week by myself.

Petty much this, except everytime I went on the internet it said "THIS PAGE HAS A VIRUS" then gave me the option to buy the (fake) antivirus software or leave the page.

One time I got a virus that took screenshots randomly and put them in %appdata%... not really sure what it did with them.

Otherwise, I've never gotten a virus even once.

pretty much what supertoaster said,the worst thing was that when my antivirus detected a virus it gave this damn loud screamer everytime,

luckily for some reason i could still open up opera and use it like i want,the next day it was gone.

that was 2 years ago
