The one that shut down your pc and was more of any annoyance than anything else.
I guess what I'm trying to get at is awareness of the tricks on the net and what to avoid goes a long way in battling virus', but I find the average home user/parent/casual surfer throws caution to the wind when surfing. Our common sense has to be taught to others and virus'/trojans will always spread because of this.
