I removed the redirect to Talk:Timeline of notable computer viruses and worms. I'm not quite sure why it was there in the first place?
In any case, I have a few suggestions to make. Bear with me, as they may be excessively technical, but it's 3 AM and I'm not terribly coherent.
Sorry if my comment breaks style guidelines. I'm still getting used to this. I look forward on expanding this project. -- Trafton 10:50, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Get 'em while they're hot folks - they're goin' fast. Of course maybe this section's on the way out the door too, don't know. Feel free to sort, categorize, research, or whatever at your own pleasure (or dis-pleasure). ;) — Ched ( talk) 19:45, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
Viruses should also be sorted by OS IMO. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.227.53.176 ( talk) 16:45, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
the vandalism count on the article is too high and an protection policy might fix this problem. i recommend a semi protected policy for this. Abc123456person ( talk) 19:23, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
I have a particular interest in computer viruses and Trojans and will seek to update the information contained within this section. Hopefully if this page is given a bit of love and attention, it can become more comprehensive and complete.
I will research into the possibility of creating a bot, however in truth this is currently beyond my capabilities (if only I could write it in C++). Something for the future perhaps...
Peace guys. If I do manage to make any mistakes, please let me know and I will be happy to correct them. Just be gentle, everyone was a newbie once ;)

I propose that List of computer viruses (all) be merged into List of computer viruses. I think that the content in the List of computer viruses (all) is a duplication of the information contained within this page, and it would be quite easy simply provide an "All" list on the List of computer viruses page instead of it having its own section.
Both pages also have their own strengths which if combined would result in a better quality article.
An example of this is that the lead section of the List of computer viruses (all) is not complete, whereas the List of computer viruses lead section is much more informative.
Conversely, the "Notable instances" section is much more complete in the List of computer viruses (all) article, but is almost blank in the List of computer viruses article.
Any thoughts on this guys?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Thanks for taking the time to read this Talk page.
I do agree that the Redlinks are a particular problem on both the List of computer viruses (all) and the List of computer viruses articles and removing them would improve the clarity of these articles.
I could delete all of these but they actually make up the majority of both articles, meaning if I was to do so it would greatly reduce the lists. There is also the potential that the articles on the viruses in the redlinks could in future be created.
However I have seen many instances on both pages of viruses that despite extensively searching for on the net, do not seem to exist. An instance of this is the Label virus, which had "H1N1" in its info. I am sure that such biological viruses have little bearing on computer viruses.
Over summer I will be looking to create articles on as many of the viruses as possible, potentially linking many of the redlinks. However due to the sheer volume of entries, this may take some time. If no objections are made within the week, I will look to merge the articles and research if the redlink viruses can be found to exist. If not I will then delete them.
Thanks again. Sirkus ( talk) 17:18, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
.Thank you Sun Creator for your input, especially regarding the redlink matter. Your feedback was greatly appriciated. .As this discussion has been active for one week and no objections have been raised regarding this merger, I will action it as requested.

I think the article should include Java update virus in the list of viruses. Blackbombchu ( talk) 20:07, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
the youareanidiot virus. its available on windows. (i dont know about macs) but what it does is displays three smiley faces and says over it: you are an idiot. to stop this virus in windows 7, right click and click "loop" on the menu but that will give you errors. if you don't loop, you'll get a BSOD. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NylonKittyJr ( talk • contribs) 14:49, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
The content in the tabs for "Isolation Date" seems to be in the "Isolation" tab, and i'm not sure what is meant by "Isolation" at all here, in any case, i don't know how to fix it (if it's actually broken), but i wanted to make a note of it for those who are a bit more experienced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Swedra ( talk • contribs) 17:34, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
