Sup Forums is a malware for the life, it destroy the mind and corrupt the soul

That wannacry shit really fucked up my local GP, so that.

google chrome and windows 10 followed by cryptolocker

seen? probably ransomwares
the worst malware I ever had probably was some annoying piece of shit in windows 98 that would move all your icons when you tried to reach for them and would close any window you tried to open while also corrupting random files.

macOS High Sierra

CIH, Gruel

holy fuckkk I've never had any other piece of malware eat 100 fucking MB of memory even after I've hunted down registry entries and disabled it.

i used to have this thing on my windows 8 that an antivirus couldn't detect as far as i'm aware it didn't do anything other than play a sound of an audience clapping and cheering. Had it for about a year would happen within a 30 minute period of a fresh boot was some pretty weird shit

Windows 10

Windows, because it could run CIH.
And Ubuntu 17.10, because it does the same thing to UEFI on some machines

The AOL browser.

Early versions were ok, they incorporated some nice features like email, a stock portfolio, IM, and chat rooms. To go to regular .com websites instead of AOL's "keywords", you had to go to a special page where you could type in a URL. That was stupid. Punters were fun though.

The marketing behind AOL's services really got into baby boomers' heads though. I couldn't convince my parents to use anything else. Netscape and IE were looked upon as highly suspicious, like the way you'd look at something attached to an email sent by a Nigerian prince. My parents forbid me from installing Netscape on the family PC, and I didn't have my own computer at the time.

As later versions came out, the software became horribly bloated, slow and intrusive. It would slow down the whole computer. But my parents would use nothing else. What's even the point of a browser that doesn't tell you "You've got mail!" every time you logged in? Their mailboxes were filled with spam though, but I couldn't convince my mother to get on gmail even though I signed her up for an email address there.

Eventually the computer died around 2008 and my parents got a new PC. They requested I install AOL from an ancient stack of dusty CDs. I said no, it's bloated spyware that ruins your computer and scams elderly people out of $20 a month. I said they can check their email at aol.com using Firefox if they needed to use their AOL email address, and if they need to search for something online they can use Google.

You'd think I'd just come out of the closet as a pedophile the way they reacted. They refused to accept that no one was even tracking usage of this browser anymore because it's so rare and it wasn't "number one." My mom was crying and my stepdad was yelling about how AOL is the best internet company ever and it's what everyone uses. It took years for them to adjust and accept the new reality. They still have the CDs, hoping I'll someday see the light.

the GPL

Quality pasta.

in XP days i had a mate with an autorun virus that I think had infected the BIOS. It would drop an autorun.inf file and an exe file on any flash drive you plugged in. It persisted system reinstall. Eventually he gave it to me and I flashed the BIOS and reinstalled windows and it finally went away.

We get it, Theo.

It's true, really happened that way. One time they visited me at college while driving north on vacation and they wanted to use my computer to check their email and probably rummage through my shit. I was expecting this and had Chrome running (I normally used Firefox, but I didn't want them going through my browsing history and such) and I said they can check their email at AOL.com. They freaked out, demanded I install AOL, and started going on about how they couldn't get to their Favorite Places with this weird browser. My mom said my college would probably flunk me out because I wouldn't be able to do any research without AOL's keywords. I stood my ground and didn't install AOL.

your mom, she infects everything she fucks

You have interesting parents, to say the least.

Your existence.

>High Sierra as my daily driver

CIH best malware waifu.

I don't know what it was, but it was a fucking bastard. What really made it interesting, was it appeared to have the ability to learn, or at least adapt to what I did.

It all started when a less than tech savvy friend of mine asked for help since his PC had been acting strange. Was an old XP machine, prebuilt, etc. Fire it up, it's running pretty slow for 4GBs of RAM, so I bring up the task manager. Less than two seconds later, task manager closes, and no matter what I do I can't get it to come back up. OK. So I open a command prompt. Three lines later, it suddenly closes. Now I can't open CMD. Every single angle I took, I could use for all of a few seconds before it got closed and locked off. Could still use a web browser, but very little else was left usable by the virus. Give up, format it clean, reinstall windows XP. Halfway through installing drivers, control panel suddenly closes. Sure enough, back to the same shit as before. Finally ended up getting an older machine of his up and running since I couldn't clear the virus off the machine.

Two months later, he gets arrested for CP and attempting to meet a minor for sexual reasons. To this day I wonder if it was just some really nasty random virus, or if I accidentally got in a fight with an FBI spy program.

when TDSS first came out
>fixmbr

anything from the xp days really. when it would take two days with five different virus scanners to clean a pc

I was playing with AWS not knowing wtf I was doing
I tired to start an ubuntu instance but didn't know how to find the official AMI so I used one that seemed pretty generic. It had a bitcoin miner inside it. Fortunately I noticed after a few minutes and killed it.

Windows 10

Yeah when it first came out. Now I'd never go back to anything else.

90% of the replies in this thread are just failed attempts at humor

>windows 10 XDDD

Keyranger.

Spectre & meltdown

Ended up with a virus that was a standard annoying popup begging you to buy an anti virus program. Did a scan and as soon as the scanner found it, it forced my computer into reboot. Safe mode would reboot. By the time the slow ass HDD could load anything, it would reboot. Had to do a full clean install to get rid of it.

Windows 10

Whatever it was called that would 0000 out the beginning of your hard drive.

Last time I used Windows about a year ago, opening the start menu felt like flipping through the ads section of a newspaper.

IE opening a million gay porn popups while they blast the sound through your speakers

the 00s sucked on PC

Windows 10.

No contest.

Pooinloo DNA

not even that bad, you could find the partitions and perhaps even recover your file names

I miss lastmeasure. The 00s were amazing.

modern advertisement.

Windows 10

Ransomware at work. Go in one morning to find the message on my computer. Infected our sever so even when i cleaned and reinstalled i couldn't actaully do any work. Took a couple of days to download everything from our backup. Turns out my boss got it from an email, was glad it wasn't me that caused the infection.

I guess WannaCry
But I haven't got a destructive virus in my entire life
The high point was some badly written adware in Visual Basic, that's about it

The way this is laid out with the flat segregated tiles, some expanded for details, that's actually a pretty good design. I've only used 10 on my mother's laptop so I don't know how it works very well but it would be nice if that tablet layout is decently customizable, as far as sizes and groupings go. Too bad that pic is filled with a bunch of nonsense

Who the fuck sets the start menu to full screen?

enjoy waiting for the knock on the door

Among others, my dad has one that makes it impossible to open folders because double clicking them just runs some unknown process, and the context menu just has "cmd" in it.
He refuses to let me fix it.

Tak jak pan jezus powiedział.

The tile menu is terrible for quick visual recognition, in my experience. Your eyes have to travel across the entire screen, because 75% of the screen is padding, and part of the remaining 25% is wasted on duplicate tiles on the left.

Your eyes first notice big blotches of color, all with the same silhouette. The colors don't even mean anything consistent.

The second thing you notice are the high-contrast ads. Third come the icons, which are all the same color, and are tiny compared to the brightly colored padding that surrounds them. Many icons are just more rectangular blotches, and are not self-explanatory. What is the kite-like thing supposed to be, or the sails?

Where is the search button to look for items that don't fit on screen?

And why is the menu transparant? The visual clutter from the wallpaper clashes with the "clean" look they were clearly aiming for.

Thanks for articulating what I always thought, but people dismissed on the basis of irrationally hating new things.

windows for life

My mother was like this for years. We had a family PC from 1998 up to 2005 or so and we all used AOL in that timeframe. At some point I got my own PC and ditched AOL and my mother simply couldn't fathom it. To her, AOL was the internet. Although, to be fair, she would routinely call to cancel her subscription and AOL would beg and plead for her to stay, reducing the monthly charges to like $7.99 or some ridiculously low price like that. She continued to do that until 2014 when she cancelled for good and she got an iPhone.
