Nomad
Star Trek: The Changeling
Evil quote: "I am Nomad. I am perfect."
Nomad is possibly the most powerful of the computers in this list, and also perhaps the most stupid. An intergalactic fenderbender with a soil-sample collector leaves the space Nomad probe thinking its mission is to sterilise imperfection, causing it to set off on a galaxy-wide killing spree. When the crew of the starship Enterprise investigates, Nomad attacks with the force of 90 photon torpedoes and simply absorbs their return fire.
Having been created by one Jackson Roykirk, Nomad encounters Captain Kirk and apparently thinks, "Meh -- close enough." It raises all kinds of heck on the Enterprise, erasing Uhura's memory and temporarily offing Scotty, before Spock initiates a mindmeld. Ultimately Nomad is only defeated because Captain Kirk talks it to death -- we all know that feeling.
If any proof is needed that Nomad is the king of evil computers, witness Star Tek: The Motion Picture. When given a bigger budget the trekkies splashed out on a bald chick and some better effects to create V'Ger -- Nomad with no sense of timing. Nomad for the win!
Evil rating: Mwahahahahaha!

Ok, so my $0.02
MCP should NOT be included, it's a program not a computer. In tron the computer is the combination of all actors and the landscape.
MODOC to MODOK should have been described and why.
HAL was not evil, just had poor conflict resolution.
The computer from Wargames should have been included based on some of the other inclusions. Quotable line:"The only winning move is not to play."
The "matrix computer" shouldn't count, nor should Lor, Mandrid clones, KARR, the Terminators, VYGR, or NOMAD because they aren't "computers" they are "androids". If we're including them, we need to include Robocop's opponents.
