The Michelangelo virus activates on March 6 each year, which coincides with the birthday of the famous artist Michelangelo. Originally discovered in the early 1990s, this virus was designed to infect DOS-based systems and would overwrite the hard drive's data on its activation date. Due to its historical significance, it is often referenced in discussions about Computer Viruses and cybersecurity awareness. However, modern antivirus software has rendered it largely ineffective today.
