A computer virus is a, usually, destructive program that can be passed from one compute to another similar to a real life biological virus. While there are many different types of viruses, and more being made every day, the ones most people come in contact with fall into one of the following three categories.

Trojan Horse
A Trojan horse virus is simply a computer program with a secret. The program appears to have one purpose but in truth it does something completely different. A Trojan horse virus could appear to be a picture file but upon opening it you’ve unleashed a damaging program on your computer. For the most part, Trojan horse viruses cannot replicate and spread automatically.

Worms
A worm will generally affect any device that has a security flaw and is networked. A worm will use a security flaw in a computer network to create copies of itself. A copy of that worm will then scan it’s new network for any other machine with a similar security flaw. After obtaining access to that machine it will replicate itself and continuelooking for new machines with the same security flaw indefinitely.

Email Viruses
An email virus is essentially like any other computer virus except that it uses email as it’s transportation method. The more dangerous email viruses are the ones that once they obtain access to a computer, replicate themselves and then send these copies of the virus to everyone in the user’s email address book.

Computer viruses run the spectrum from mildly annoying to downright dangerous (possibly even erasing all your files). There are many anti-virus programs available on the market that can help limit this threat to you. Along with a reliable and often-updated anti-virus program, you should use a good dose of common sense. It is generally good advice to not open or download a program or file unless you are certain of its contents.

stop sucking up to him, i heard hes a total faggot. Your site is for faggots, not me tho i just came here to let u know that your all faggots, and your also wrong about worms because computer worms affect the central processing core once they hit the “triggered byzantine” not the Postprandial processing individualality of the second end Athlon X2. Your all dumbasses.

By Peter. October 11th, 2009 at 5:26 pm

Hello guys i am a supercomputer programmer and i have to say sick of douchebags is correct. The Athlon X2 powers the Tragomial reprossesor in every computer. Unfortuanately they are very susespitble to virus damage. Once it hits the Tragomial reprossesor the byzantine’s memory mode corrupts and therefore allowing virus spreading from computer to computer.

By wow4life. October 19th, 2009 at 2:18 pm

you guys are all mega douchebags, its not the Tragomial reprossesor you r’tards its the gigilax ram, motherboard inter-built hamalax central processor! you dirty mage-elf. you wouldnt even make it to 2 mage, id smash you with my troll!

By Amateur. October 19th, 2009 at 7:26 pm

first of all “wow4life” you have little experience in the corpulent sector of the AMD networking appliance. I can also beat you at wow as my Dwarfag has higher levels in the kingdom of Phagothourus which means i dominate you in all aspects of the game.

In general you should shut the fuck up before my Dwarfag rapes your Elf up his squirky little ass.

oh and hey Sean and Ryan u guys are awesome.

By dark knight 227. October 19th, 2009 at 7:31 pm

You guys have no clue on the subject in which we are speaking of. Some of the comments have made me ill and have made me projectile vomit as your lack of knowledge in the subject has little or no evidence. The prospect of a virus is equal to or greater than an ASI system. Andf i would pown you in Cod 5

[Repeat x2]
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,
And their like
It’s better than yours,
Damn right it’s better than yours,
I can teach you,
But I have to charge

I know you want it,
The thing that makes me,
What the guys go crazy for.
They lose their minds,
The way I wind,
I think its time

[Chorus x2]
La la-la la la,
Warm it up.
Lala-lalala,
The boys are waiting

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,
And their like
It’s better than yours,
Damn right it’s better than yours,
I can teach you,
But I have to charge

I can see youre on it,
You want me to teach thee
Techniques that freaks these boys,
It can’t be bought,
Just know, thieves get caught,
Watch if your smart,

[Chorus x2]
La la-la la la,
Warm it up,
La la-la la la,
The boys are waiting,

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,
And their like
It’s better than yours,
Damn right it’s better than yours,
I can teach you,
But I have to charge

Oh, once you get involved,
Everyone will look this way-so,
You must maintain your charm,
Same time maintain your halo,
Just get the perfect blend,
Plus what you have within,
Then next his eyes are squint,
Then he’s picked up your scent,

[Chorus x2]
Lala-lalala,
Warm it up,
Lala-lalala,
The boys are waiting,

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,
And their like
It’s better than yours,
Damn right it’s better than yours,
I can teach you,
But I have to charge

i just firstly would like to say that nice website that u have athlon motherboards, you douchebag. you claim that u are the team leader of athlon motherboards, that is a lie. i am the CEO of athlon the company and i search blogs to see peoples feed back with our programming. you are a total bs artist. every thing u said was a lie the Pentium 12+ is a mega virus that attacks the computers central processing unit and starts to slowly kill the AB wires that control the 34+ X2 AMd driver. if that fails your computer is fucked. so fuck you

And yo I once was a kid all I had was a dream
No’ money no problems, when I get it imma pile it up
Yeah I’m dope wonderbread we can toast
So fresh how we flow, everybody get their style from us
I once was a kid with the other little kids
Now I’m whippin’ up shows and ‘em fans goin’ wild wid us
Tell mummy I’m sorry
This life is a party

Remember you was a kid
Reminisce days of the innocence
Now it’s Chiddy Bang, google me in the images
Follow me, follow me I’m the leader
And when I park cars I don’t pay for the meter
I remember I was younger as a kid it was the best
I used touch on all the pretty girls at recess
I’m at my peak yes, I won’t leave yet
Serial style, cereal aisle need Chex
I can make these rappers run like a hard drill
Rock band show you how the guitar feel
And I could care less how y’all feel
I got the flow to make a bitch do a cartwheel
This is that good just pop it and relax bro
And you can get it free don’t worry ’bout the tax though
And Xaphoone, thank you for the crack
But I play a Ron Bergundy I anchor on the track like that

And yo I once was a kid all I had was a dream
No’ money no problems, when I get it imma pile it up
Yeah I’m dope wonderbread we can toast
So fresh how we flow, everybody get their style from us
I once was a kid with the other little kids
Now I’m whippin’ up shows and ‘em fans goin’ wild wid us
Tell mummy I’m sorry
This life is a party
I’m never growing up

Can I please get a little bit of knowledge
Somebody tell Roth that I don’t love college
‘Cause the real world’s kinda like Real World
And it’s drama so you are Svetlana and I’m just a rhymer
Find More lyrics at http://www.sweetslyrics.com
Swimmin’ in the water tryin’ to dodge the piranhas and fly to Bahamas
Pretty little momma, Chiddy in the spot
Where you at pretty lady show me what you got
They say why you rappin’ for the kids for
I said my clothes come fitted, the Lids store
This summer you can catch me on a big tour
I’m high grade, I think they need to quiz more
Let me get wit ya, don’t let the kid hit ya
I’m the photo album Valletta has, big picture
The rule is, the dude is, so up, so chuck I’m a cool kid

And yo I once was a kid all I had was a dream
No’ money no problems, when I get it imma pile it up
Yeah I’m dope wonderbread we can toast
So fresh how we flow, everybody get their style from us
I once was a kid with the other little kids
Now I’m whippin’ up shows and ‘em fans goin’ wild wid us
Tell mummy I’m sorry
This life is a party
I’m never growing up

And yo I once was a kid all I had was a dream
No’ money no *problems*, when I get it imma pile it up
Yeah I’m dope wonderbread we can toast
So fresh how we flow, everybody get their style from us
I once was a kid with the other little kids
Now I’m whippin’ up shows and ‘em fans goin’ wild wid us
Tell mummy I’m sorry
This life is a party
I’m never growing up

Hey, what’s the big idea?

Yo Mika.

I said,
Sucking too hard on your lollipop,
Or love’s gonna get you down,
I said,
Sucking too hard on your lollipop,
Or love’s gonna get you down.

Sucking too hard on your lollipop,
Or love’s gonna get you down,
Sucking too hard on your lollipop,
Or love’s gonna get you down.
Say love, say love,
Or love’s gonna get you down.
Say love, say love,
Or love’s gonna get you down.

I went walking in with my mama one day,
When she warn me what people say,
Live your life until love is found,
’cause love’s gonna get you down.
Take a look at the girl next door,
She’s a player and a down right whore,
Jesus slows up, she wants more,
Oh bad girls get you down.

Singing,
Sucking too hard on your lollipop,
Or love’s gonna get you down,
Sucking too hard on your lollipop,
Or love’s gonna get you down.
Say love, say love,
Or love’s gonna get you down.
Say love, say love,
Or love’s gonna get you down.

Mama told me what I should know,
Too much candy gonna ride your soul,
If she loves you, let her go,
’cause love only gets you down.
[ Lollipop lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]

Take a look at the boy like me,
Never stood on my own two feet,
Now I’m blue, as I can be,
Oh love couldn’t get me down.

Singing,
Sucking too hard on your lollipop,
Or love’s gonna get you down,
Sucking too hard on your lollipop,
Or love’s gonna get you down.
Say love, say love,
Or love’s gonna get you down.
Say love, say love,
Or love’s gonna get you down.

I went walking with my mama one day,
When she warn me what people say,
Live your life until love is found,
Or love’s gonna get you down.

Singing,
Sucking too hard on your lollipop,
Or love’s gonna get you down,
Sucking too hard on your lollipop,
Or love’s gonna get you down.
Say love (say love), say love (say love),
Or love’s gonna get you down.
Say love (say love), say love (say love),
Or love’s gonna get you down.

Mama told me what I should know,
Too much candy gonna ride your soul,
If she loves you, let her go,
’cause love only gets you down.

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, lollipop.
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, lollipop.

Sucking too hard on your lollipop,
Or love’s gonna get you down,
Say,
Sucking too hard on your lollipop,
Or love’s gonna get you down
