Just curious

Hi,

I'm wondering what serious problems can occur when a current computer gets infected. From reading around here it seems that mostly a virus is a matter of being a nuisance rather than doing any serious damage.

Years ago I got bit by the Klez, I know the havoc that played on me, I just wonder what's to be expected now?

Anyone got any horror stories?
