On my Windows computer! Why? Because I'm not retarded enough to run Pen1sEnlarger.exe. - tuxidomasx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12viruses are going extinct. its all about the spyware and rootkits now.
i remember when viruses tried to crash your computer for no reason at all.
nowadays malicious programs just wanna steal stuff and get your passwords. - LordSkywalker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11They still make viruses? I thought they stopped making those at the same time they stopped making AOL . . .
- grumpyrain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I think we can take that list as proof that MS has made great improvements to Windows security. Compare this list to the same list to:
2003: Blaster, Slammer, Sobig, Nachi
2004: Sasser, MyDoom
2005: Zotob
2006: Nymex and a bunch of obscure viruses
Naturally, there is still room for improvement, but this has confirmed my suspicion that SP2 (enabling the firewall) has really had an impact. - b3mus3d, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10"Pen1sEnlarger.exe"
Really? You should stop being so narrow minded and try it...
it worked wonders for me. - Leevi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Why not link to the original source? It's directly copy-pasted from http://www.pandasoftware.com/about_panda/press_room/Panda_virus_yearbook.htm
Oh, and F-Secure also released their look on the year 2006 http://www.f-secure.com/2006/2/ They even made a video about it, available in various formats (divx, wmv, etc.) It is in Youtube too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUxRrUZqKyI - walkerj, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8@dkoon, who ever said that? There's no reason Linux can't get viruses, it's just less likely to than many other operating systems (say MS Windows.)
- deanlowe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I thought it was the year of the Phishing spam e-mail.

Thats coos anyone who is dumb enough to get a virus on Windows is too dumb to use Linux. I dont even have the patience to figure out Linux (been using it this past week coos my XP disk is at my parents house, and im hating it) and im a programmer.
"ORLY? guess what, 2/3 of the net runs on linux with apache (aka LAMP)"
Thats coos they are set up by professionals and then basically left alone. Hard to get a virus on a computer that no ones touching. Most viruses, spyware etc, are put on the computer by the user without them knowing it. - joshman5k, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6The year of blaster was so much more annoying.
- Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3*Insert obligatory Mac fanboy statement here*
There, that pretty much covers it. - Haohmaru, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Savvy PC and Mac users rarely get virii on either platform
But your average Mac user is as clueless as your average Windows user. Dare I say more due to the fact that Mac does everything it can to simplify the interface. - mxcl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2According to the following link, Gatt.A only works properly on Windows, which is good as I can't be arsed to worry about Viruses on my Linux box yet.
http://www.pandasoftware.com/virus_info/encyclopedia/overview.aspx?IdVirus=122900&sind=0 - miestersean, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Digg for the name "Panda Software."
- imyke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1sigf
- chrislopez02, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Its funny who when you get certain virus or spyware infested programs like "pen1senlarger.exe" you sometimes also get a program to get rid of porn in your computer. I ran across that program once when downloading "Fun With Dick and Jane" (the actual movie, but i guess some people took the title out of context and thought it had to do with fun with dick and Jane if you know what i mean.) Of course the more you use the program, the more porn you get in your computer.
- Crossmenjeff, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2there is still time
its y2k somewhere! maybe i meant 4:20, either way, the same panicky people will get all anxious about it. - Werrismys, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Year of Winblows viruses, more like.
- Darcy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Has the definition of virus changed?
- MrViklund, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2http://www.pandasoftware.com/
- redxii, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2and I thought this was the year of the desktop Linux.
- dkoon, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4"The most promiscuous. This title goes without a doubt to Gatt.A. This malicious code can infect any platform that it is run on: Windows, Linux, etc."
LOL, who said Linux has no virus. - chrislopez02, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0Viruses suck.
- GravisZro, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1@walkerj
"There's no reason Linux can't get viruses, it's just less likely to than many other operating systems (say MS Windows.)"
ORLY? guess what, 2/3 of the net runs on linux with apache (aka LAMP)
that argument is such *****. - monergism, on 10/12/2007, -9/+0Is that sarcasm?
- StatusQuoRules, on 10/12/2007, -15/+2It should be called "The Year In Windows Viruses: 2006"
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -22/+4I've never seen any of these....
on my mac!
