Define "deadly."

It might be cool to add a couple sentences about what the viruses does. I mean beyond just replicate itself.

Viruses do not destroy computers, unsecured computers with laxed users do

But here is a link to a great article about the top 10 most destructive viruses of all time.

And by destructive, meaning loss of time and money.

thank you for informing us about that matter, but for me the most deadly virus is the "horse virus" why?? because it will take all of your personal information and then they will hack your money and also your credit card nor debit card. beware of this specially when your are making money through online.

And FYI to all... you don't need to have a virus on your computer to lose personal information. Some very simple spy ware can do that!
