no idea, how would I know?

the big one was that RPC shutdown virus in the mid 2000s that seemingly everyone in the UK had
it was on the radio how to fix it

my grandma got her wallpaper changed to gay porn (including audio) before. it was more of a slideshow than a video, but the fact that someone put that much effort in was impressive

Yep, then I installed Gentoo and I stopped dating women. Double W.

Viruses don't exist, no virus has ever been isolated or proven to be the causal infectious agent for any "computer virus infestation", antivirus software is just a scam to scare you into making your PC slow.

everyone was deathly scared of the trojan horse virus when i was in middle school

Yes, only a couple a very long time ago
The first was a virus called Trojector back in the DOS/Win3.1 days. It didn't do much but it remained in memory and took a good chunk of lower conventional memory so I couldn't play most of my DOS-based vidya, that's how I noticed something was wrong. Ran some AV software, detected and removed it. However it spread to all .exe files in the PC so in the end I just did a reformat and reinstall. Probably got it from some friend while exchanging pirated software.

Second time was back in the early 2000s (2002 or 2003), my Windows 2000 SP4 PC suddenly started showing high CPU and network usage even when idle. It was one instance of svchost.exe. I throughly checked msconfig, all system startup stuff, scheduled tasks, and didn't find anything suspicious. Ran several different AV software and malware scanners, and they couldn't find anything either. I remember running a network scan tool and the suspicious service was making several connections to China if I remember correctly. Finally I just reformatted and reinstalled Windows, and the problem went away. No idea how I got it, probably through some malvertising browser exploit while browsing the web (there was no adblocker back in those days).

Trojan isn't a specific virus, it just means it's malicious software disguised as good software so that someone installs it. you have to be a retard to get it on your computer
for me it was free clash of clans gems generator

>>103228650
yeah anon but in middle school it was simply "the trojan horse" and there were horrible rumors spread about it

>>103226444
I had COVID

>>103226444
No, which is why I think antivirus programs are a meme. Literally all it used to flag was the Windows Loader and some trainers.

Back in 1998 or 1999 I was doing research on (cough) woman science (cough) and my Compaq Pressario freeze with a woman on my screen
