We have come a long way since first computers and first computer virus was introduced. You may not believe but viruses in those days were so rare that they made headlines unlike today when we have thousands of new malware/viruses released every day. Those days when DOS was the system of choice, the viruses not only exploited the vulnerability in PCs but were also creative in structure. Sometimes it is good to relive the past and take a look at the viruses which wreaked havoc in 1980s and 1990s. Here is look at top 10 such virus :

An example of an MS-DOS-based virus, now removed of its destructive capability but leaving its messages. These may not be the most destructive virus ever created like the Stuxnet virus but these could easily make the virus writer laugh and the victim give out a wry smile. Many such gems may now be completely hidden since DOS is no longer used but if you know any such virus do mention the same in the comments and we will try to find out about it.
