Currently I am badly affected by a virus that is eating up my computer speed rapidly. It takes around 30-1 hr to get my pc speed back to normal. I am a heavy net user and that is the most probable reason to get the virus. A year ago I had a virus that continues to eat my hard disk space and got it formatted. Really I curse the people who make these viruses, let their brains be fired instead of our computers (Sorry for being mean.... I am totally screwed with this viruses)

They pretty much slow a computer down or can crash a computer if it's serious also some spyware and virus can get information from your computer or send information to it that you don't want
