      Nah, I didn't respond because it wasn't worth my time. I actually haven't been using that install because the HDD is failing. ~3.7k bad sectors at the moment. Just for shits n giggles I'll scan it though just to prove my point. Post back with the results in a bit.

      So responding to his post wasn't worth your time but responding to this one AND scanning your hard drive is...

      Yerp, cause now there are multiple people I'm proving a point to rather than just one. And I'm kind of curious if I will be able to install a program and run a scan with so many bad sectors. I've already been getting input/output errors when copying files.

      Yes, viruses are capable of causing physical damage -_-'

      Well it was at 26% when I went to bed last night, and it had found 8 tracking cookies (oh noez!). However, in the middle of the night it decided to to an automatic update, and now it hangs after the login screen. I'm assuming it installed the updates onto a cluster of bad sectors and that fucked everything up. Guess it's finally time to trash it....

      Well, it was half a joke. But they can. An obvious one would be to overheat the CPU.
