| Not most destructive, just bizarre viruses that had "Interesting" affects AnyProtect, put ad's on your browser, like just random pop ups. That's all it did. I rememeber even seeing an ad for it stating "Don't Be A Clown, Get AnyProtect" A virus with floating butterflies My old computer got a weird virus or maybe a glitch where all videos stopped working. Both online and even things like media player wouldn't play files |

| This must've been when I was still a child using the family computer, and while I don't know exactly when this was, let's just say it was around the time when the "Congratulations, you won!" ads were still a thing. I was on a ROM piracy website (It's still up, so I won't mention it by name), and one of the ads caused the page to force redirect to some page that looked like a "malware scanner" running on Windows 7... in the same browser window I was using to pirate ROMs. I... kinda let it play out, since it was so fucking stupid that even pre-teen me could tell that this weird "malware scanner" thing wasn't actually real, and that no matter what it said, I could just reopen the main page and pretend I was never served a malvertisement in the first place. I did, and it happened a few times on this one ROM site and some other sites I can't remember, before it stopped happening entirely. Likely, the malvertising campaign got snuffed out, and that was that. EDIT: Might as well drop a lookalike logo, since people who know will instantly recognize it, and those who don't won't ever be able to find it. :D  |

| I haven't experienced any crazy ones myself, but I once had a friend that got a virus that ended up breaking the computer with those old color television scan lines when channels would go off the air. Clever I got to say for what it was. |
 |
| The "you're stupid" virus is probably one of the weirdest but I never had it myself. Also Bonzi Buddy or whatever, those kind of desktop mate viruses. |

| The Memz virus (albeit it was one made for comedic purposes to destroy VMs). I would highly recommend watching Joel from Vinesauce's Windows 10 Destruction highlight video, where he absolutely destroys his VM with a customized version of the virus specifically made for the stream to have some jokes added specifically to troll him. |

| You are using Windows which is why your computer is always infected with malware and spyware. Surely you should know by now that Windows never ever was safe. |

Definitely one of the scarier ones... |
