Initially there were Brontok, sal.xls.exe and the like.. I was really pissed off by them.. but then when i got in touch with more geek guys, i got solutions for them..
Recently I had a one-on-one with System.exe... It's a virus tht was residing in my pen drive and i was unaware of it. (I hate giving my pen drive to ppl) . When I inserted it into my XP Laptop, it started screwing me.. i figured out something's wrong coz the mouse piointer started behaving ITCHY and STICKY.... AS expected, when i clicked my drives, it showd the "Open With..." dialog box... TWO full scans with Avast and Antivir... but in vain! Finally i tried to open Taskmanager... i saw two processes system.exe and sys.exe ... i thought them to be the culprit and tried to end it but suddenly task manager closed... it never opened again. then I tried to unhide all folders thru DOS and there i could see the devil himself.... A SYSTEM.EXE . i thot i will delete it and al probs will be gone. but when i deleted it... my system restarted... then somehow.. avast caught it and shred it successfully... two days of tension gone..

Wht a hell is dis pain in a pen....
Really I didn't know about pen drive viruses a year back, until my system was captured. Generally pen drive virus replicate themselves while pluging it into public PC, or PC where cell phone are repaired as well contents uploader.
I faced commwarrior, commdropper, Cabir, Cdropper etc etc which are S60 viruses. Theses viruses were offered to me by my friend's pendrive.

i have experienced with vbs.funlove virus. this virus corrupts every software. when i tried to run nero which was effected by this virus gives me a warning that this program has been corrupted by a virus. then i scanned with panda which i installed with digit cd. This is the time of year 2004. that was a good virus.

My B.E College lab PCs were infected with library of viruses....
Out of them worm was funny...
I once saw a worm during practicals....
when i copied some text in notepad (using ctrl + c) that text was not copied...
instead it pasted "fool" ...strange worm....
