Identifying The Most Dangerous Computer Viruses

Any type of computer virus can be devastating if it isn’t taken care of.  So trying to identify the most dangerous one of them all?  Take your pick and people will give you stories about their computer virus adventure.  Whether is a well known virus that has infected servers or personal Pc’s they’re all the same.Malicious.  The more dangerous viruses were viruses that were identified in the beginning of the internet age.  That’s because antivirus companies probably weren’t as proactive as they should have been in exterminating them.

By the time these viruses were identified with code to circumvent their exploitation they had done enough to go into the halls of the famous computer viruses.

As far as I’m concerned any virus is potentially the most dangerous.  In fact the most dangerous computer virus is the one that doesn’t get taken care of.

But for historical sakes I can name a few of them for story telling.

Back in the year 2000 there was a virus by the name of ILOVEYOU.  This virus was propagated through the use of email.  If you happened to get this email and opened it.  Your files on your computer were then corrupted and unreadable.  Also it attached itself to your outlook contacts and also infected that aspect as well.

People remember and learn from past mistakes.  Here’s a classic rule.

Do not open emails from people you do not know.

There are more computer viruses to talk about in upcoming posts.

stay tuned and be safe.
