Hello,

I have to admit...CryptoLocker is the one that will mess with a person's Zen probably more than any other malware.

However, I immensely dislike a little devil that AV cannot stop...variously classified as Win32Kill, WinKill, FileKill, Shutdowner, etc.
In fact, many AVs don't even bother classifying it as malware.

Win32Kill shuts down your system...no matter what. Whatever hasn't been backed-up is gone.

Aggravating, truly malicious gremlin with no other intent than to mess with your head.

I personally love Sasser, and some variants of automated IE Aurora Poison.

p.s. I even made a collection of interesting viruses and "jokes", containing Rigel, Stuxnet, Train, Agent (red screen variant), Panama, MeltingScreen, DarkSky, and so on.

Currently, it would be Regin. Watching such APT malware attacks is like watching a good detective movie :). Also, I feel that this is the malware that was described in the Snowden documents as it could steal the data of an entire nation. The only thing lacking is a good zeroday exploit.

But of course there might be more interesting ones that is still worming around, just that we don't know about it yet.

Since I am a newbie I forgot the name, but it is basically a malware that put your computer into a "forever" rebooting status. (or something along those lines).

Thanks for reading,
John.

I like the payload of Krotten. Destructive and annoying as all hell.

Yet, I like the Maldal payload as well. With the fake "Send to the whitehouse" box and copying itself like 10.000 times. (At least.)
