You may have seen this list of computer viruses circulating via e-mail already. Well, we’ve taken it a step farther and ranked them for funniness. Of course, our ranking is highly unscientific: The five of us simply fought about it for 6 hours until we came up with the final result. (Our jobs are really hard...)
But: You can help! Simply select the computer virus you think is the funniest from those listed, and we’ll publish a Readers’ Top 10 in a future update.
Vote for the funniest!
