Sure a computer user gets a Windows CD and then installs it on his/her
computer so everytime you boot it up the virus loads into memory and then
starts messing up and crashing your computer.
Another way is that a person buys a computer pre-installed with the Windows
virus and everytime he/she boots then the virus is loaded into memory and
infects all the users files and applications. If your computer crashes alot
then you are probably infected with the windows virus.
The only known way to get rid of this virus is to buy a copy of Linux and
format you hard drive and install Linux. It worked for me. My computer is
much more happy now.
My computers been virus free for a year and a half thanx to linux. God
bless Linus Torvalds for finding the cure to this devistating virus.
