Here are your sources and many of these sources say that viruses most surely can damage hardware. They say not maybe, but can meaning it is a real possibility.I would have to say we are talking windows not a mac here. I joined this group with the intention of helping folks and it is so nice to know that you like to sit back and pick at folks you do not agree with.I think it entirely a possibility to just get of the list as all that I did was a simple google search and came up with these sources. I mean if I work for said company a and we get a virus on ten office machines and it destroys all of the data and say machine ABC never did any network back up aside from that and it never touches the hardware did that company not loose money did they not loose data I would have to say viruses are problems and cause damage .I want to thank you for assuming you know every thing their is to know and that an ignorant fellow like myself that makes a lot of money needs you to tell me I need to spell check so thank all of you have been helpful to me in the past as this being my last post.
