How Quick Can You Break a Computer?

Matt over at Blog Herald cited a Wired story that talks about deliberately and intentionally setting to destroy a computer with destructive malware, adware and viruses.

I laughed, I cried, I sent the Wired writer a virus. It took 18 days which is pretty good as I didn’t think Windows had that kind of tolerance! :)

Day 4: I receive an email in Portuguese from the Brazilian government announcing that it has rejected an email from me because it contained W32.Netsky.Q@mm. Score! No perceptible impact on my system, but apparently networks in São Paulo have been brought to a standstill.
