Rena 2,779 / 33,647 Report Post Posted September 26, 2020 Same as the two above. The websites I looked to download Minecraft for free had a thousand download buttons and they were all really untrustworthy sites. I tried downloading mods as well… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options... Achievements

Dale Gribble. 62 / 2,696 Report Post Posted September 26, 2020 Have you ever heard of any viruses that cause billions of dollars of damage, like the i love you virus that spread through emails or melissa or code red? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Gribble. 62 / 2,696 Report Post Posted September 26, 2020 this biggest one was the mydoom Mydoom became one of the fastest email worms to spread around the world since ILOVEYOU. The worm appears as an email transmission error and has an attachment of itself. If the user clicks on it, it immediately sends itself to all the email addresses in the user’s address book. It spread like wildfire across the internet, and many believe on the day of its release that it slowed the internet down by up to 10%. It has infected roughly 2,000,000 computers and is estimated to have caused $38 billion in damages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshy 4,364 / 44,945 Report Post Posted September 27, 2020 I took a screenshot of the desktop with the folders, then hid the folders for an April fools joke; also put on a few screwy settings on it such as swapping right and left click on the mouse as well as inverting the wheel. My parents thought it was a virus so they were get pretty vocal when they woke up early in the morning and wiped everything including the OS trying to fix it (they're not very good with computers). Whoops. I don't recall having ever downloaded a virus on someone else computer including my parents. I may have on my personal computer. I had visited a known-good website I visited regularly without problem, but that website it was hacked and it tried to download something as a visited it. I wasn't sure and I sincerely thought it was unsuccessful, but I immediately wiped it just as a precaution because I didn't want to take any risks.

Bae 2,489 / 41,520 Report Post Posted September 28, 2020 Mines were visiting sites that I shouldn't be going into. Like uhm private or cracked servers that can contain a malware/virus. But either way, the PC I used back then was cancer, it detective a virus in everything. I was using windows xp, that's toxic. I didn't have my fancy computer till I almost graduated from high school 😆 Because virus protection doesn't work on xp anymore so I was constantly getting viruses from sites like my school website and games sites that are not legally protected. credits to @Clavers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
