As you probably know, viruses is not always a separate file with a file-extension but is mostly a part of an existing file on your computer as an "intruder".
That said, take a look at this threat database: http://vil.nai.com/vil/default.aspx. Here you can find almost(?) all known viruses with their name and what they do.

Hey Oxiegen thank you very very much for your reference .. i will take a look @ it.
