    What is the Worst Virus You Have Got?
    Not a clue about the name. I actually think it might have been a rootkit or something. Whatever it was it was crafty little shit.

    What is the Most Amount of Viruses you have 'contracted' at a single time?
    I'm guessing three. Separate incident.

    How bad were the effects of these viruses?
    The thing was a monster. I was always so paranoid about security so how I got infected I'll never know. How it managed to completely foil my ridiculously tricked out security suite's every effort at removal is even more baffling. It took a hard drive wipe to get rid of it. The PC equivalent of "I say we take off, and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

    Though perhaps the most far reaching effect was that the incident prompted me to switch to Linux. I've never looked back and never been a happier computer user. Thanks, virus!

    EDIT: w00t!!! Hundredth post!!!
