Was there a time that your computer was invided by a virus?

Hi!! Yeah 2 years back I faced the problems with viruses in my PC but via a pen drive and not through Internet sites.I got my pen drive from a friend who was using it for some work on his PC and when I plugged it in my USB port,my anti-virus didn't detect the viruses in the pen drive as they were to strong for the anti-virus.I didn't had problems then but when I turned my computer off and again started it after some time it refused to boot up.So I formatted my PC and though that the problem would be gone by now so I just started opening up the drives in my PC but then I realized that I couldn't see my hidden files and inspite of making changes in the folder options,the folders just refused to show up.Ultimately I had to format the entire hard disk to get rid of the deadly virus that infected it and from then till now I have had no problems with my PC as m using a good anti-virus and make it a point to scan the pen drives :).

hi, I understand it is great to have antivirus software on your system. Previously i too had to face lot of problems due to virus when i was using anti virus software which was not original.But not i feel good as i am using original antivirus software which can be updated regularly.

I had these problems when I was new to computers, when I dint know much about computers or softwares. I use to format my harddisk and re-install windows a lot. Then after a lot of installations, I got fed up, and went throught the websites, what the best I can do. Used a lot of anti-viruses till now. But the one am using now, is very good. So I dont get such problems now. But sure there are sites, which may be more alluring but much prone to virus attack.
