I was thinking about writing a fiction novel where some geeks were searching for a secret NEAR INTEGER whose calculations would blow up the computer ... if then can infect the computers of the world with a virus that calculates that secret near integer, they can cripple our civilization!!!

You might enjoy the stories of Greg Egan: he has a couple of short stories which resonate with this idea. Unfortunately, the one which is online is the second of the pair, the sequel. You might need to buy his anthology Luminous to read the first. My own copy seems to be out on loan.
