Have you ever had a computer virus/malware?

    Share your story! I've had it 3 times. A trojan virus. It happened twice when I was a kid, because kids are dumb and downloading everything they see and click on all links. My computer just shut down and a trojan virus message appeared. The third time happened this year. My gaming pc had no issues but I decided to do a full search and it found two different trojans. I had to reset my pc. I have no idea how I got a trojan since I don't download anything weird anymore.


    But it has probably happened more than 3 times. My old computer is laggy af. I can't find any malware, but some are good at hiding. I'm convinced that this computer is affected even though I can't find it. But yeah, that computer is so laggy that I'm just going to throw it away. (Starting chrome literally takes 3 minutes)

    Once I thought I was gonna lose my computer due to a virus

    It turns out that it wasn't a virus

    Just a bunch of cat hair stuck to the computer fan

    Felt more embarrassed when the guy from the store said that

    Don't know if I would've wanted to lose a computer due to porn or cat hair lol ;(;(


    But yeah my first computer crashed cuz I was downloading random things I found interesting (sims), basic kid shit

    Sadly yes


    So a few months after I got internet I catched one cause nobody told me what antivirus is and that I would even need it ... The guy who repaired my computer and even tried to restore my old data to a new drive saw my old background of some Japanese musician I liked 10 years ago and he got it totally wrong and thought this was from an anime ... :pepe-tea:

    So a few months later I got forced to live with his mother (odd reasons) for like 2 months and as I stayed at his mom's place she payed me for cleaning her driveway ... and he came up to me cause even tho he was almost 30 he still lived in her house and he was like "ey remember the PC I repaired?" I was like: "Eh yeah?" and he simply just said, no fucking joke: "I saw your screen's background and so I thought: wow she must likes anime and so I just wanted to ask, what are animes you watch and like?" I didn't really watched anime back than so I simply just said "eh pokemon?" And than he was like: "You don't perhaps watch One Piece or Dragon Ball?" I was like: "Nope" than he ran away xD I was 16 back than ... oh my god IDK what that even was back than ...

    I had one on an old desktop once, it was a Trojan virus and it killed my computer. My daughter was playing a lot of games on it plus I didn’t have antivirus back then, but fortunately have never had one since on my laptop as I regularly do virus scans.

    Yes - A Virus kept installing itself after numerous attempts to remove it. Windows 7 source file was infected. A clean install finally solved it.
