It hit my PC many times. when i had windows 2000 installed, it used to hit many more times than it does now. its probably because Windows 2000 doesnt have a firewall. even with Windows XP, virus attached my PC twice . i was using comodo antivirus but that was probably not enough even with windows firewall. there are often spywares that come to your computer from other holes that antivrus cant check, so it happens even with a very good antivirus installed.

Yes many times i have been hit be the virus before i used to have a computer with very less RAM so my computer always slows down if i install a anti-virus so did not istall a anti-virus now i have a computer with nice configuration and i can install a anti-virus so now i think i may not be hit by a virus.

I have got a virus from some file I downloaded. Remember always check it out before any using. Even antivirus program didn't removed it, so i have to "clean up" the hard drive and install the OS again.
