and if any one wants to know what makes a RAT and Worm so bad is cause this
worm - infects a computer and injects its self really it dose... into important system files and other resources also it loves to consume ram and eat Files...
RAT - allows user to control your computer from anywhere in the world using a built in function in windows without you being able to do anything about it their are programs that let you do this but they are mostly good like team viewer.
now isent the world just a better place when we all understand what we are dealing with.

Viruses can be a pain. A RAT is a Remote Access Trojan.
Trojans and Spyware are also other types of virii or they can be.

3. Possibly.

5. Virii are overall a stupid and useless thing, but can be fun to develop and deploy on a wide scale.
6. I've always liked cheese and milk.

2. Really annoying spyware I removed after updating NOD32.
3. I made a program, not really a virus. It was something like this:
int main() {
while (true)
BlockInput(TRUE);
return 0;
}
Basically what it does, is call the BlockInput function in User32.dll that disables the mouse and keyboard. Now for you programmers, you may ask "Why the infinite while loop?". Well that is because if for some reason someone presses Ctrl+Alt+Del, the BlockInput function is forcefully cancelled. The infinite while loop makes sure to constantly call the BlockInput function incase of that. I did place it in a public place. I was pissed off at an internet cafe and dropped it on some of the machines. Since its not a virus of whatever, it wasnt picked up by AV software. In the end, the idiots had to format.
4. 5 Ive been using a PC since '98.
5. Virii can indeed be fun to develop. However, spreading them on the net only causes problems for others.
6. I like to program C++, Java and VB

I suggest running Malware bytes program. its a free download(the paid portion is only for the active scanner). www.malwarebytes.org. Also it will ask to update after install, you need to change the update site to securitywonks, malware bytes update page seems to be down today. This works great to remove adware programs.
Also run malicious removal tool for the worm/trojan itself. scan times vary based on harddrive size and usage.
Start->run->mrt.exe
You may have to run the programs 2 or 3 times to completely remove the adware based on the level of infection. also disable system restore before scanning(start->right click on my computer-> properties-> system restore disable).

[size=10]1. I'm using Windows XP
2. Anti-Virus 2008<-- Ironic name [First and hopefully last virus]
3. Lol, no that's pretty cruel in my opinion. People who do that are lame.
4. I'd say a three. I'm not perfect when it comes to computers but I'm not clueless. I've some talent.
5. I definitely think viruses are bad. With today's technology I think it's pretty easy to track down the location of an individual or individuals who create a virus. As a consequence, I think the person/people should have to face a fine or some time in jail. Maybe that's a bit overboard but hey.. I don't believe it's right to send out software or such that's malicious and harmful.
6. Um.. I'm known here... as Hentai Elder and sometimes Pedobear.[/h]

Interesting little topic you've got going here. I'll bite:
1. At home: Vista 64-bit (yes, I'm a masochist ;)), XP 32-bit, OS X, RISC OS (and a pervert too! :D)
At work: Red Hat (server and workstation), Solaris 8 and 10, most versions of Windows (including server editions) since 2000
2. An irritating little virus/spyware combo that I got back in the early days of XP. It ate several system files and wedged itself so deep in explorer that I resorted to fdisk :P
3. Back it my misguided youth I investigated how they worked and built some test code for curiosity's sake. They didn't do anything nasty and were never released into the wild.
4. Probably 5, though I don't feel like it. I work in a place surrounded by guys with PhDs in computing and electronics, so I can't help feeling a bit out of my depth sometimes ;)
5. Viruses, malware and worms are things written by the greedy or the bored. All those people trying to make a quick buck by stealing personal details or forcing pop-ups on unsuspecting users are the lowest form of humanity. The ones who aren't even trying to sell something should just get a life!
6. I really should have said hello on the 'Introduce yourself' topic before barging in with kilometer-long posts. Oops :oops:

1. Arch Linux/Solaris
2. Back when I did use XP just to play WoW, I have no idea what kind of virus it was but it slowed down my computer, changed everything to 16bit shit, it was easy to get rid of.
3. I use Python. For any other programmer that should bring some laughs....Learning C eventually so I may in the future. When Windows 7 comes out I might release something.
4. 5
5. Good, it keeps all the users of proprietary software at bay.
6. Cheese.
