You have saved all your friends a lot of money. The computer 'joke' was not a joke at all -- it destroyed the computer's "hard drive, " which has copies of the operating system, and all personal files. It is very expensive and time consuming to restore a hard drive. Your friends are really glad that you did not send the 'joke' to them. Congratulations, you made a good choice! |
Think about it:
Computer "viruses" (programs such as this one) do a lot
of damage to computers every year. This damage is very costly to repair. Be careful
whenever you "download" (copy) a program from the Internet. It could have a virus.
Use a virus scan program
to check out the program that you had downloaded BEFORE you put it onto your computer's
hard drive.
