I dont know much about virus's or hardware for that matter but virus's have the ability to actually damage hardware? Another funny thing is everytime I try and use a Anti-Virus program, it freezes my machine. I have used 4 differnt anti virus programs(Norton, Mcafee, AVG, AntiPro) Norton and Mcafee freeze it right away, the other two freeze while scanning. This happens EVERY time I try and use them. I have never been able to run the Anti Virus program to scan my whole system.
