The most threatening virus you have had?

I want to know what the most annoying/threatening virus you have had is. I might not be a really threatening one, but hundreds of little ones. For me, it would have to be the time when we had over 700 viruses at once. (It was our first computer and we knew nothing about viruses, Trojans and spyware.)

In 1992, i had a Tandy laptop, and a virus infect him, i don't remember the name of virus, but i remember that it displays the following message "Mubark is cow". to clean my computer i format the entire hard drive and install the MS-Dos 6.22, for me it is a terrible event, i have just 14 years without a real experience... and i lost a lot of data.

Just last month when a Microsoft anti-virus 2008 automatically uploaded in my pc. I got it from a traffic exchange site while surfing. I was trying to delete it because it bothers me everytime its window pops up showing that my pc has almost thousands of virus, which aren't true. It also says that to repair my pc, I have to buy that Microsoft anti-virus 2008. It stayed in my pc for days, it changed my desktop wall paper and my settings. I was really afraid that it may corrupt all datas from my pc until we (me and my husband) decided to reformat my pc.

The worst virus I ever encountered was the blaster worm which automatically shut downs your computer, that was so annoying! The second virus that I hated was the azkaban virus which took me about a whole day to get off my computer. I really hate those viruses that make your computer run slow. We really got to appreciate the people who make the antiviruses, they are a big help to our lives
