    Shit, I remember having to wipe my boss’s computer back in '03 because he clicked on an attachment called something along the lines of “bigtiddies.mpeg.exe” or some shit.

      Me getting a virus on my computer after running sex.exe from limewire. Luckily it was only mildly annoying (as far as I know). A picture of a golfer would pop up and he would swing then the computer would shutdown. Happened once every few days and I kept using the PC for years with that on it.

          Back then there was eo much less to gain. The most important thing on the family computer was my Runescape account. I doubt whoever made the virus could even hack my runescape account because I lost access to it almost every week due to a very weak password and me telling all the kids at school my username and password.

      That was a very common tactic back in the day.
