Time to upgrade my 5150

What the heck, I'll join in ;) Friday the 13th was probably my favorite one... only because I managed to find it within an infected file by comparing an uninfected and infected file line by line in a hex editor. I was a teen at the time, and to this day am not versed in that kind of programming, so I certainly couldn't recreate it, but the differences were (from 2 decades of fuzzy memory) a few bytes and sumDOS on the infected file. Kind've cool to me.
 
I like to see how many viruses come out on April Fools Day. Like the Conficker, it was much anticipated on April 1st, and it did much more damage than the author wanted it to do.

Either viruses can be much anticipated and be as bad as everyone thought, or they can turn into a big hoax.
