Personally, none really.
My clients though...yeah, some nice ones in there.
Can't remember the name right now, it was a big one in the late 90's though....client had 3 BIG! servers (each machine was the size of a book case, ran important government stuff). I cleaned #1, #2 was crawling, and it was leaking over to #3. By the time #2 was cleaned, #1 was reinfected.
Did I mention, they had turned off the AVS on the servers as it slowed things down? Eventually got them under control, but man....what a pain.

On the plus side, my virus farm grew nicely as a result of that gig...ended up with 100 strains on several floppys to play with. (This is why I say McAfee's crap, even today, it can't detect a few of the infected files on those floppies that AVG and the old Dr. Solamon's can).

I hate these people who make these viruses. Can't we find them and then hang 'em? I got one from someone on my previous computer. I had to buy a new hard drive 'cause I just couldn't get rid of the stupid thing.
