    I actually dreamed I had isolated a file infected with Virtumonde on my desktop and accidentally clicked on it wrong in attempting to delete it. Suddenly, in my dream, I had over 5,000 infected files on my machine.

    I woke up in a cold sweat. rolleyes

    Guess it's all the reports about the IE 7 zero-day problem (although I happily switched over to Firefox recently).

    I often dream about malware :-D it's hard to "switch" off
    My partner says that perhaps if he had virtumonde tattooed on him I would pay him more attention lol

    I had a dream about bathroom tile. There were tons of them and I couldn't pick one. :cry

    I've never had one about malware. I'm not sure which is worse...tiles or malware. heh

    I've had loads of dreams about Malware,they all follow the same general theme.

    I always arrive at the computer and there's a big blue and yellow box saying "You are infected with a Virus!" and nothing on the computer works,I restart the computer and the screen goes blank with the computer no longer working.

    A year or so ago I was fixing a computer and it had a blue and yellow box saying "you have a virus!"

    Freaked me the hell out:-D

    And here it is

    I don't have dreams about malware as much as I have dreams about work.

    I have a couple of bizarre dreams.

    1) I'm in high school. Have exam's tomorrow and no preparation.

    2) I'm in college. Exams coming up. Don't have the minimum attendance required to sit..

    3) I'm climbing a precipitous mountain. Get stuck and can't move forward or back. Any move and I fall.
    Wake up and thank the heavens, I'm not a student or on a mountain. Phew..

    As messed up dreams go, I had one last night that I drank out of a glass of water without looking, and it had worm eggs in it. Thought they were going to hatch and I would have to go to the hospital.

    I had a dream once that i press a some kind of physical "BROWSE" button and my point of view goes to a kind of panorama of my flat. (inspired by appearing window when you press "browse" for choosing the file in windows)

    O_O =)
