I agree with you there are many viruses that can destroy not only the programs and files, and himself a computer or laptop. Computer virus – a kind of computer programs, a distinctive feature of which is the ability to reproduce. In addition, viruses can damage or completely destroy all the files and data controlled by the user on whose behalf was running an infected program, as well as to damage or even destroy the operating system with all files as a whole.

Layman to computer viruses sometimes identify other types of malware such as trojans, spyware and even spam. There are tens of thousands of computer viruses that spread via the Internet worldwide, by viral epidemics. There are many programs to combat viruses.

As a longtime PC user (who recently switched to a Mac) I have to say that over time, you learn that the #1 solution to all problems is a simple reboot! =) Be warned though; this could potentially just be a band-aid to a long-term wound. I’ve personally seen a lot of PCs accumulate bugs and errors because of this.

An interesting story there. I’m always told by my son if something goes wrong with my PC then I should reboot and see if it is fixed. Crazy thing to do but always seem to work if I have a problem on my computer.

Just a shame the same thing can’t be said for cars, you can turn your engine off, leave it for a minute and then start her up again, only to find that the same whining noise is there, lol.

Thanks for the post, it was an interesting incite.

I just got a virus on my computer the other day when I downloaded the latest version of JavaScript or so I thought. My whole computer crashed. That was indeed a virus.
