Have you even been infected with a virus?

I had the Metropolitan Police Virus on my computer a few years ago.
Basically, you start up the laptop, and;
"We have found CP (cheese pizza ':j) on your computer. If you do not pay ?250 in 48 hours, we will arrest you."
It was my sister's fault, she downloaded some stupid thing called xFire on my laptop.

Not sure if this really counts as a virus, but I was on a chat on my very first laptop, and I clicked a link which led me to a site called "Mudkipz" and it was just a picture of a Mudkip which would not close. I restarted my laptop to try and get rid of it, and the laptop hasn't turned on since.

I still have it, if I can ever figure out a way go fix it, but I don't need it anymore.

Yeah, on my mac and macs aren't supposed to get viruses .-.

No but I have gotten tons of scareware which makes me **** myself everytime.

everything was fine lol

HAHA oh man, at one point in my life, my laptop was filled with adware/spyware/ransomware/basically everything. I wasn't a very smart preteen and forgot to tell my parents that my antivirus license expired. I also uh downloaded a lot of things that now scream to me 'ADWARE' like those downloadable icons you change your cursor into.

<: It cleared up eventually when I got a new antivirus haha.
