Old viruses had so much soul to them.

Yeah, tons.

Yes, on Windows 98. The fucker infected, i.e. copied itself to every EXE on the system (that's what virus did back then). But the retard virus programmer screwed up so I ended with almost every EXE in the system unable to run.

No because I use Common Sense

>>58259265
Yes

You mean system16. We are talking pre xp here

>>58260543
xp wasn't the first 32bit windows, and there was never a "system16", in 16bit windows it was just called "system"

I had a virus called form.e or the like on my 286 compaq laptop running msdos 5.0. It spread by diskettes and the only thing it did was beep on every key press and release but ONLY on the 14th of every month.

>>58259265
no, but windows98 said that I was a virus and demanded i quit using the keyboard

>>58260577
Just a joke

These days the malware is integraded into the OS. It's called Windows 10 and even AV flag it as a non threat

>>58259343
That's not the fault of the programmer you fucking retard that's what most of the viruses did back then, just making you unable to her your system you retarded fuck

Windows ME. Fucking thing had viruses all the damn time. The fucking thing was almost a virus itself. I used that OS for like 6 years.

i got a virus on my windows 98 install that forced my internet explorer homepage to be a site featuring photos of women getting fucked by dogs

our family friend came over and fixed it using knoppix & he installed firefox
and thus began my interest in women getting fucked by dogs

>>58259265
No. The only computers I had before XP was a Windows 3.1 laptop and WebTV.

>>58264683
No I mean windows ME. That fucking thing will corrupt itself in 6 months without anyone touching. It's a masterpiece in virus architecture.
