Viruses Causing Laptops to Crash - How?

Part I

Computer viruses are one of the greatest threats that cause laptop hard drives to crash. This is possible because viruses affect the sectors of the storage device logically and actually cause a serious damage to it. Once this happens, the laptop starts having some unexplainable complications.

How is a computer infected by viruses?

This is a very genuine question that several users ask themselves. There are various ways by which a computer can be infected by viruses. Networked computers are the most prone to be affected by system threats (such as Trojans and Viruses). This is because; theses computers share a lot of files and documents within them selves.

Once viruses gain access to your system, it gradually reduces its performance because, they multiply very fast and they junk the processor with several useless applications to work on as they are auto run programs.

When this happens, the laptop can't help but to "hang" and this is what causes the system to freeze. One very important point to Please note that this auto run programs from the hard drive before going to come to the processor. In this case, the storage device is the hard disk in this area of the corrupted disk platters that hold the computer to freeze for some time, but this will eventually crash your hard drive laptop.
