Not correct again. Virus may not harm your computer at all! Some viruses are absolutely harmless, however they have the ability to replicate themselves.

Hey guys, don't try to discuss with a professional system programmer

I know how to write a virus, I know how to write a worm, and I know how to write a spayware. I just don't write them because I'm not crazy. Period.
