What's the most terrifying malware you've ever seen? Pic related is pretty bad, but show me worse

Kek. Anyone got the image of Norton detecting itself as malware?
>>53841889
Yeah look at a mirror

Windows 10.
Over 270 million people are infected.

The sony rootkit. Cryotlocking is bad, but had sony got away with this, it would have allowed all businesses everywhere to fuck up your shit under colour of law
>>53841889
This one?
This one is pretty terrifying to be honest
iOS

Fucking kek
>>53842527
also this one

>What's the most terrifying malware you've ever seen?
Adobe Flash. It's basically a drive-by downloader for other malware at this point.
>More than one severe vulnerability enabling remote code execution per month
>PER MONTH
I bet you that all the serious malware on this list (e.g. TeslaCrypt) spreads through the use of Adobe Flash, ergo Adobe Flash is the most dangerous of them all.
bonzi buddy was pretty evil. He was such a cute little fucker and kind of not terrible idea on the surface

wasn't bonzi buddy just adware+toolbars
Anything that encrypts all your files and asks you to pay $1000 to retrieve it.
Bonus points if it encrypts all your external drives + network drives.

what's the best way of detecting when encryption is taking place?
looking at the process' open file descriptors?
I use separate accounts with not readwrite permission to my data partition for running cracked games and applications, is this enough to prevent ransomware?
Don't remember the name of it but at a previous job I had two separate instances where one paid the fine and had no data, the other one completely believed it was an actual AV and requested that we "not touch it" but somehow fix all the problems the computer was having. 50+ websites printed out for the latter proving it was a virus only made this person think all the websites were the scams.
This one wasn't really scary but it was annoying as fuck.

Made me rage. So glad I don't do desktop support anymore.

Note sure what it was, but I pirated some DJ software and ended up getting a virus that killed explorer. I don't mean it ended the process, I mean the machine would start but explorer wouldn't launch. Safe mode didn't work, couldn't start task manager and I didn't have a repair disk so I was pretty much Sol. Had to reinstall.

>I didn't have a repair disk so I was pretty much Sol. Had to reinstall
is the windows install CD not a repair disk?
>>53842612
By this logic the worst is the actual internet for allowing it to be transmitted.
>>53845643
Not that anon, but the internet is not held to a standard of not allowing malware to pass through. Adobe should absolutely be held to that standard

It was literal botnet.

No. If it uses one of the 99999 privilege escalation exploits, you're fucked.

Avira recently just detected his own adware as malware on my PC. The fucking popup shit the free version has lmao.
>>53846150
It's surprisingly commonplace.
>>53846150
Oh, yeah I should add something to this. Ever since I contained the Avira's own adware I never received any popup offers for Avira's other services. It completely got rid of it's own feature.

What I like about the motherfuckers who make these are that they have a sense of humor.
>>53846169
Yeah, I haven't used free antiviruses for a while so it was funny to me when I saw it detecting itself. Thank god it actually HELPED me and got rid of avira's annoying offers to upgrade to the paid version.
>>53846169
Bravo, Avast.

ZeuS/spyeye.
No pic but it's definitely the most damaging

Please tell me what to hide, so mine will go away

Pepe pls
>>53847683
I didn't do it on purpose. Avira was doing it's routine scanning of files and found it's own advertising as adware and contained itself. Soooo, get lucky?
>>53848009
I could get lucky or you could go check the quarantined files.

Looks like it was taken with a helios 44-2 or 44-m lens giving it that really shallow depth of field and swirly out of focus background
>>53848464

I'm going to need a source on that one.
>>53848630
I meant 2D as in if it's drawn or from an anime. How do you know so much about lenses?
