One does not simply delete a virus.

I've had a few computer viruses, nothing serious yet though.
Yeah! Me Too! I've got one virus on April 2011 when my laptop doesn't have an antivirus software installed, so I've restored my laptop back to the way it was before using a bunch of recovery discs I had, and it seems to be working again.
Anyways, After the restoration process on my laptop, I've finally got an antivirus software on my laptop called Rogers Online Protection. This kind of software only works if you have the Rogers hi-speed internet service and if you only live in Canada.
Here are the specifications I've used for my laptop:
Laptop Brand and Model: Acer Aspire
Operating System: Windows 7 SP1
Antivirus Software: Rogers Online Protection

A few BSODs, then the laptop won't boot. The LCD won't even come on. No way to get into BIOS. Video out isn't working either.

I think I encountered the oddest one yet. I run on a Mac OS X now but a previously I was running a old copy of Windows XP, I was searching on YouTube when a warning arrived, but it didn't have text, it showed a picture of Yoshi of all things. Then my computer displayed a screen that looked like to title screen to a NES game, it was pitch black with a few smiling faces at the bottom. After that, the computer shut itself off. To make it even more strange, when I was searching through my files later, I found hundreds of South Park pictures that I didn't even have before.

That is really weird. But I'm not surprised you got it on You-Tube.

Well google owns youtube nowadays. Does that mean the main google site has a virus?

e.e Well, atleast AVG can recognise a Worm quickly. I just went onto [please don't put commercial ads on Scratch] (is that it?) and a popup tried to say "YOU HAVE VIRUSES!" I was like "Nope." and tried to launch taskmanager - it came up again "NOPE." and AVG came up "WORM DETECTED... REMOVING." pretty much.

Lol, one time I was playing a game my dad got from the App store, and once i beat the last level, it said "Upgrade to the premium version to play more levels! ". I clicked the button that said "no thanks " and guess what happened?
My computer froze up for a few seconds, and then it shut off and turned on again, saying, "Your computer had to restart because of a problem." In 6 different languages, of course.
Then, when I logged back in, it asked me if I wanted to re-open my windows from last session. And I was like, "No, just no."

Haven't. and I cant start the windows updater service, since im running in safe mode because that makes it a little better. Once I can enable it hopefully I can fix this.

Well, now my computer is totally unusable. And I have an essay that's over 1000 words and like 3 pages lost. Ad everything else. ;-;
I never even get anything except alternating max brightness white screens, min (last I set it to to make it easier to do spyware stuff) and black screens. Yay.

I had a case that was on the computer, I got a pop-up warning of the virus. Since it is like my virus scanner, it looked official, I clicked the "Remove All". However, I actually gave the computer viruses, my father worked on it for a long time before it away ..
sorry for bad English..

I had a virus on my mom's computer.
Whenever you clicked on a link it would send you somewhere else.
We had to install FireFox because Chrome and IE weren't working because of it.

It's called Ubuntu.

(well, I guess rm -rf / would be a bit of a problem...)
