Portal Archive.org collects and stores information from around the world. Here you can find hundreds of thousands of different digital books, scanned microfilms, digitized video and audio recordings, classic video games, and recently a new section on malicious software, that is, computer viruses, has become available to site visitors. In this section, the archive staff places old computer viruses that were popular in the 80s and 90s of the last century. While the museum has only 79 exhibits, but the collection continues to grow.
At the moment, the museum's special focus is on creating a collection of malware that, after infecting a computer, informs its owner. Some of them tried to blackmail the user or even played with him in various games, a loss in which could cost removing all the files on the computer. One such virus is the famous Q QASINO.COM, which plays with the user in a "one-armed bandit" until one of the indicated combinations appears on the scoreboard. The user can try to save their files or lose them, or even win the phone number of the author of the virus program. Of course, all the promises of the creator of the virus are pure deception, and as a result, the file system can not be saved in any scenario.
The pleasant moment of this collection is the fact that all the viruses presented in the museum are absolutely safe today. Employees of the archive extracted from them all the "malicious elements", leaving only a visual shell for the peace of mind of users. Computers and virtual machines, under which all these viruses were hacked, were left in the distant past, and most of the loopholes and vulnerabilities in the code of operating systems such large developers as Microsoft have long covered. The museum of viruses will allow you to look without fear into the eyes of malicious programs that spoiled people's lives at the end of the last century. Go to the museum you can .
