ILOVEYOU (2000) - One of the most widespread and rapidly spreading viruses ever, the ILOVEYOU virus spread via e-mail, posing as an executable attachment sent by a friend from the target's contact list. The ILOVEYOU virus was a computer virus that many consider to be the most damaging virus ever written. It spread itself by email in 2000 through an attachment in the message. Once opened, it loaded itself to the memory, infecting executable files. When a user received and opened the email containing the attachment “LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.txt.vbs”, the computer became automatically infected. It then spread itself by infecting executable files, image files, as well as audio files like MP3s. After that, the virus sent itself to others by looking up the addresses contained in the MS Outlook contact list. The virus was written by a Filipino programmer who was still a college student at that time. He said the release of the virus was only “accidental.” This virus spread throughout the world in just a day, infecting computers of large corporations and governments, including the Pentagon in the United States. It caused billions of dollars in damages. The actual “damage” occurred during the removal of the infection from computers, as email servers and computer networks had to be shut down before the virus could be removed.

Code Red (2001) - IIS on Windows servers were the target of this virus. It also launched denial of service (DoS) attacks. The world had not yet recovered from the damage caused by the ILOVEYOU virus when Code Red was released in mid-2001. Unlike other viruses, this one only targeted certain computers running the Microsoft IIS (Internet Information Server) Web Server, exploiting a bug in the software. Once a computer was compromised by the virus, it would modify the handled website, displaying the message “Welcome to http://www.worm.com! Hacked by Chinese!” Then, it would later seek other computers running the web server software and do the same thing. After about two weeks of infection, the virus was programmed to launch DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks on certain websites, including the server of the White House.

Nimda (2001) - Nimda used seemingly every possible method to spread, and was very effective at doing so. Nimda is notable for being one of the fastest spreading and most widespread viruses ever. Nimda is a computer worm, and is also a file infector. It quickly spread, eclipsing the economic damage caused by past outbreaks such as Code Red. Multiple propagation vectors allowed Nimda to become the Internet’s most widespread virus/worm within 22 minutes. The worm was released on September 18, 2001. Due to the release date, exactly 1 week after the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, some media quickly began speculating a link between the virus and Al Qaeda, though this theory ended up proving unfounded.

Melissa (1999) - The Melissa virus is notable because it is a Word macro virus. It cleverly spread via e-mails sent to contacts from the infected users' address books. First found on March 26, 1999, Melissa shut down Internet mail systems that got clogged with infected e-mails propagating from the virus. Melissa was not originally designed for harm, but it overloaded servers and caused problems. Melissa was first distributed in the Usenet discussion group alt.sex. The virus was inside a file called "List.DOC", which contained passwords that allow access into 80 pornographic websites. The virus original form was sent via e-mail to many people.

Sasser (2004) - Sasser exploited a buffer overflow and spread by connecting to port 445 on networked Windows systems. The chaos caused was possibly the worst ever, as systems restarted or crashed. Sasser was another complex computer virus that crippled thousands of computers, and was written by a 17-year-old German student in 2004. Sasser did not spread through email, and did not require any human intervention to compromise computers. It infected computers by exploiting vulnerability present in both Windows 2000 and Windows XP machines, known as the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) exploit - the same vulnerability used by the Blaster virus. Sasser successfully infected and shut down thousands of computer networks in just a matter of days. After infecting a computer, it is programmed to access the Internet to search for other vulnerable machines so that it can infect them. Sasser also displayed a notice indicating that the system was shutting down.

The Morris Internet Worm (1988) - The grandfather of computer worms, the Morris worm infected Unix systems and was notable for its "accidental" virulence. The Morris worm or Internet worm was one of the first computer worms distributed via the Internet. It is considered the first worm and was certainly the first to gain significant mainstream media attention. It also resulted in the first conviction in the US under the 1986 Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. It was written by a student at Cornell University, Robert Tappan Morris, and launched on November 2, 1988 from MIT.

Blaster (2003) - Blaster exploited a Windows operating system vulnerability and let users know of its presence with a system shutdown warning. The Blaster virus was a complex malware that spread itself not through email, but through a vulnerability in both the Windows 2000 and Windows XP machines. This malicious software was detected in mid-2003 and by then had infected hundreds of thousands of computers. Once a computer was infected, it displayed a message box indicating that the system would shut down in a couple of minutes. It was also programmed to launch a DDoS attack to a server run by Microsoft by April 2003, but was already contained by that time. Discovered in the code was a hidden message to Microsoft founder Bill Gates saying “Billy Gates, why do you make this possible? Stop making money, and fix your software!”

SQL Slammer (2003) - This tiny virus infected servers running Microsoft's SQL Server Desktop Engine, and was very fast to spread. SQL Slammer is the least damaging virus in this list. It still caused a considerable amount of damage, though, by overwhelming routers, causing them to shut down. The target of this virus was web servers running a vulnerable version of Microsoft SQL Server. Only computers that ran this server software were infected, but it caused the slowdown of Internet access around the world. In just under ten minutes, it was able to infect thousands of servers center away. Upon infection of a server, the virus generated random IP addresses through which it attempted to further infect other computers.

Michelangelo (1991) - The Michelangelo virus is a computer virus first discovered in April 1991 in New Zealand. The virus was designed to infect DOS systems (but did not engage the operating system or make any OS calls; Michelangelo, like all boot sector viruses, basically operated at the BIOS level) and remained dormant until March 6, the birthday of Renaissance artist Michelangelo. There is no reference to the artist in the virus, and it is doubtful that the virus writer intended Michelangelo to be referenced to the virus. A more likely scenario is that the virus was a gaffe against the (at the time) better known "Friday the 13th" virus. Since this attack took place exactly one week before Friday, March 13, 1992, computer users who believed that they could avoid the Jerusalem virus by changing the system date (on the twelfth) would be ensnared. Michelangelo is a variant of the already endemic Stoned virus.

Creeper (1971) - This is noted as possibly the first ever computer virus. It infected computers on ARPANET. Mostly harmless, the concept of Creeper has infected the minds of rogue programmers through today. The Creeper worm was an experimental self-replicating program written by Bob Thomas at BBN in 1971. It is generally accepted to be the first computer virus. Creeper infected DEC PDP-10 computers running the TENEX operating system. Creeper gained access via the ARPANET and copied itself to the remote system where the message, "I'm the creeper, catch me if you can!" was displayed. The Reaper program was created to delete Creeper.

CIH a.k.a. Chernobyl Virus (1999) - This virus was considered one of the most dangerous and most destructive viruses ever because it had the ability to remain undetected in a computer’s memory, infecting every application that was run. First released in 1998, the CIH virus infected executable files of the operating systems Windows 95, 98, and ME. This virus also was accidentally distributed by a software vendor, contributing to the massive infection of computers. What made this virus dangerous was that it had a trigger date. Once that date was reached, it overwrote the files on the hard drive and completely destroyed its contents. It also had the ability to overwrite the BIOS of the computer to prevent it from booting up. This virus was also known as the Chernobyl virus because some variants were set to destroy data in computers that coincided with the nuclear power plant accident.
