Hmmmm I remember 3 ocasions...
the first was when I was a kid using windows 3.1, one day all of my hardrive was eaten up, thanks to the NATAS virus (read it backwards for full effect). Someone had to come over to my house to delete that thing... I still remember that the virus made more than 1000 copies of itself.
The second virus was a strange case, back then when everyone used P2P, the damn thing would screw image files (.jpg) copying himself as well while jumping from folder to folder, I had to delete all the infected images to get rid of it.
And Lastly one of my cousins installed a 'Free Antivirus' that you couldn't uninstall nor browse the internet without buying it... I had to turn of all the registers and delete it manually...
Pain in the ass... all of them

I got a virus once and had the computer fixed by a professional. It was away for MONTHS! Also my friend once downloaded BonziBUDDY. That purple gorilla thing killed his pc, now every time their is a pc problem, Bonzi caused it.
Bonzi MADE Vista; Vista SUCKS PENISES!

Ha, I remember this virus I had once. I posted it on another forum already so I'm copy pasting it over here (with slight improvements in grammar and spelling).
Hmm, that sound like a virus I got some time ago. It opened up a antivirus website and displayed varnings at the small icons in the down right corner of the screen. The virus was quite funny, it changed the desktop background completely black except for a 480x320 big flashing screen where it said something along the lines of "your computer have been infected cleaning it up with a antivirus program is recommended". Ctrl alt del was "oddly" enough not working and was showing an error message, and you could not change back the desktop background either.
Now here is the best part; the name of the antivirus program? "Real antivirus" of course.
That was the wierdest virus I've ever seen, and after that I improved the safety of IE (disabling direct x, java and flash programs etc.).

Worst one was actually quite recent. It was a Trojan downloader if i remember correctly. It downloaded more viruses, i tried to get it away with any means possible. A while later i realize it was not on my computer but on my external hard drive. Until that point it had killed about 5 computers and had spread to one of my friends internet company, which threatened my friend that they needed to fix the problem or they would not receive anymore connection from them. This all got solved eventually, but it was the worst I have ever seen.
Mcaffe smit fraud.
Ugh. Every two fucking seconds, a giant banner would come across the screen, "Hey!! Did you know your subscription to McAffe security expired?" No it didn't, ************. I never subscribed to you!!!
Then, I would get a bunch of other things saying "Your computer is at risk of infection!!!" Then, it would instantly start doing a bullshit scan and wouldn't let me leave the site.
The worst was when my computer would start playing random comercials. I'd start hearing acne medication, drain-o comercials, and some wierd british news cast without the internet even being on.

A few months ago, I got a pretty nasty one. For a while it didn't do much, so I had no idea. Eventually, it made a little icon pop up in the bottom left icon list, and it kept showing warnings like "Windows Security has detected several serious viruses, recommend downloading anti-virus measures immediately." Just my luck, my brother was using the computer at the time, so he panicked and clicked the link.
I have no idea who wrote this, but I hope they go to hell. The virus started downloading porn shortcuts onto the desktop, and started downloading even MORE viruses and hiding them around.
Here's the kicker though. Remember those viruses the original downloaded? Well, somehow (forgive my less-than-savvy terminology) they were written to restore any virus that you found and eliminated. Every single one. So, I was left to deal with about 10 different programs downloading porn shortcuts, messing with the internet and disabling anti-virus software.
I know what you're thinking: "Silly Block, download a program like Malwarebytes! It'll kill 'em dead real good." However! Whatever I had messed with my browser, redirecting any searches for anti-virus programs to another random website. Not only that, but when I finally got to download Malwarebytes, the viruses turned out to have been written to block the program from running. I had to rename the entire file just to get it to run.
Even then, it took 6-7 scans just to clear it all off. Good lord.
