Do virus injure your system hardware ?
512 MB ram, 3.06 GHz, P4,80GB sata
Answer:
.
Viruses are fundamentally designed to affect the system software like replicating themselves again and again, installing unknown are unwanted softwares, etc. They could not impair the system hardware directly by anyway.
But they could play a minor role in affecting the system hardware. For eg. consider that your system is attacked by a virus, which formats your not easy disk when ever it gets, activate. What would happen if the thorny disk is formatted again and again? Surely it would create some bad sector or affect surrounded by some other way.

no
No, they cant directly affect the hardware...but thats not relevant next to viruses...You shouls be checking whether they affect the system itself or not...YES they do a massively damaging effect on the system.
may be, yes
be sure, not at adjectives!
No viruses are software programs that are installed involuntarily by user or with out erudition of the user. The viruses can not permantly injure the hardware or can not cause any hitch in hardware. They can simply disrupt the way software works or syndication bet hardware and software
ex- If virus attacks printing software after printing will not occur but that doesn't show printer is out of order
no, they don't effect computer hardware.they one and only effect ur sytem's memory and softwares. some very insalubrious viruses can totaly desecrate ur computer's memory.
yes they do
no they do not harm the hardware as they are not things that you can touch .they are also a program later how can they harm your computer.
no they cant (but they can indirectly). but you should be more worried if a virus wipe or corrupts all your precious information than if it harms ur ram. but it might merely damage the hdd indirectly,as it may unevenly reboot ur computer which may lead to the creation of impossible sectors
no they dont affect hardware
Normal virus will not effect ur H/W. But even ur mother board and other H/W have some S/W(firmware) within them stored by the manufacturer which can be effect by an expert or some well programmed virus.
Leaving aside adjectives the parts, Motherboards and printers can be easily carry effected by virus, if they r programmed such that they can modify/damage the firmware.
If the firmware is modified/damaged ur computer or printer may not work properly or the worst that they may not work at adjectives. This can also can be cleaned/rectified by taking them to the Service personnel or the manufacturer.
Hope I cleared ur doubts.
