That's crazy, I actually remember when this happened but was pretty young so only knew it was destroying my computer. It's when my parents taught me how to go in and get rid of viruses manually

*Hopefully it doesn’t surface again* while we’re in this virus.

My incredibly poor email habits spared me back then. I dont check my email unless someone texts me and tells me to check it.

I was like why don't I remember this, and then saw the years it occurred

[akirataifu]

In my mind I was like, "Why did he introduce Hit Me Baby One More Time like that?". Then I realized at 24, I may be more old than I realize.

Anyone else read the title and immediately knew it was about MyDoom?

[FilhaDoJohnnyJoestar]

Dang. It's been 18+ YEARS and the creator is still unknown

The only ppl that don’t have to worry about internet viruses are the Amish! 😂
