Computer virus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How long have you had a computer?

If you don't know what a virus is, you probably will very soon.

Maybe you should ask, "What is Google?"

While that bugger is a bacteriophage, a good likeness at that.

For him, the same difference.

There's no hope!

I read that one too. I was going to offer my standard boilerplate advice along with a smart comment, but just couldn't be bothered.

At least that person wasn't asking a question that could get someone killed due to appearing to be dangerously unqualified for their own job.

Getting off topic, people are too lenient here on these type of people (in other threads, and I am sure you know which ones I am talking about) asking really dangerous questions.

I am sure it would be different if the question was "Need advice so I can perform a heart operation" or "Tell me how to build a bomb?"

Just because it's an Engineering question doesn't make it any less dangerous than an unqualified Doctor asking for medical advice here (for example).
