Hi there! 

I need a brief history of the most important and notorious computer virus that ever been on the net, for an upcoming game I'm making.

I'm not sure if that's the right section for these kind of topics, though 

Thanks

That one has sucked billions of dollars, caused troubles to countless users all around the world, has been active since ever before the Internet was known to the public and have yet to be eradicated.
 

Ok, seriously, there have been a lot of notorious virus and computer attacks (not exactly the same thing). I don't think any of them could be called the "most important and notorious". Maybe more informations about what you need would help

Shouldn't YOU know the most important computer virus is? Because.. you're kind of making a game about it. How do we know the history of something we don't know? Do we just google it? Tell us which virus it is. If you have no idea which is the most important virus, how are you still making a game about it?

This movie might give you some inspiration for characters/settings.

All of your characters must have optional in-line skates.

I sincerely don't get the point of your post. I need names for some bosses on my games, and I think it would be cool to use them for the theme I'm thinking about. It's not like I'm making an historical game about viruses and I don't know what I'm talking about, chill out
