On its 50th use the Elk Cloner virus would be activated, infecting the computer and displaying a short poem beginning "Elk Cloner: The program with a personality."
A program called "Rother J" was the first computer virus to appear "in the wild" — that is, outside the single computer or lab where it was created.
Written in 1981 by Richard Skrenta, it attached itself to the Apple DOS 3.3 operating system and spread via floppy disk. This virus, created as a practical joke when Skrenta was still in high school, was injected in a game on a floppy disk.
Most of the time it's the stupid user who clicks on something which the OS rightly determines as an instruction to run whatever was clicked.
e.g. (An Internet based research revealed that there were cases when people willingly pressed a particular button to download a virus. Security analyst Didier Stevens ran a half year advertising campaign on Google AdWords which said "Is your PC virus-free? Get it infected here!". The result was 409 clicks.)
There are alot of good deals there. If you want it, buy iy, if not, don't. Yer, there is notron 3.0 at half price, which is good at the moment. But you can get free virus checkers from online, plus free checkers, where if you stay or not does not mater to them, are far better than a company that needs your custome to survive and are going to allow all the negative feedback until all their customers go. Plus with online fraud at it's higest, giving away you id has never been so easy.

Don't you mean Graphics card, it's used for all your visuals, not just when gaming.
