Museum of ancient viruses

The most harmful viruses of the good old past are on display, like in a zoo, at the Malware Museum.
Retro is always captivating, and especially so in the ICT world, when today’s teenagers, the daily users of SnapChat and Facebook Messenger, realise with astonishment what exactly viruses were, and why MS-DOS was so awkward that you could not even use it with touch screen. The Malware Museum (archive.org/details/malwaremuseum) presents relics of old times, viruses with destructive routines removed, of course, which used to destroy the work of a great number of people.
79 dreadful viruses and their graphical visualisation can be viewed on videos, which is not really thrilling for today’s youth, but middle-aged entrepreneurs in business suits pushing content marketing would snap their fingers with proud satisfaction that they had been infected by them all as they were already using computers in their industry. Obviously, they would not share a word about the fact that they spared money by not purchasing legal antivirus software that would regularly update.

The collection of old-time viruses is offered on videos now. You can see how they worked, what threats they posed to VGA screens, and how they poisoned the life of Bill Gates’ MS-DOS computers. You can set your search criteria and select viruses from the catalogue by date, title, or the name of the creator. The idea and collection of the Malware Museum came from Hermanni Hyppönnen, engineer of the antivirus company F-secure.
