No virus can burn your hard disk or erase your OS while your OS is logged in....that would be like you trying to pick yourself up off the ground and carry yourself across the room without touch the floor.

What? You never heard of electronic messages that contain code that tells you're computer how to shoot bolts of electricity at your hard drive and destroy it? LOL................

I'm not doing jack. I've had the worst of viruses and trojans and have been able to edit my registry and remove every last one of them. Some are a pain in the butt I will admist but the longest it's ever taken me is 20 minutes to repair.

Like Brushi does???

The "Bruschi" virus does not need to be opened or accessed outside of your OS for it to take effect, and when it does, it l causes your computer tower to raise up off of the floor and slam itself into the nearest wall until the bruschi virus can complete the transformation of broken pieces into nuclear material which then explodes killing everyone within a 100 mile radius.
