A story so common that I didn't think of writing it till yesterday. Anyways, now when am writing about it, the first thing I want to mention is that a virus attack on computer can be devastatingly painful.
Well, I was using my computer without any anti-virus for a long time, n mostly I didn't care about installing one even when most of my friends were talking about computers crashing due to these viruses. I thought these are mostly harmless, so never bothered to care much about it. Last year, in November, I installed an anti-virus just on the insistence of my husband. Things went on pretty well for almost two months.
Then came the shock, my computer had been attacked by a virus. News!!
But somehow, the situation was brought under control. Huff!!
Again just after a month, came the deadliest one - the XP smart security. And Bam !! this was the one which almost crashed my Computer. This time the anti-virus fared badly, the browser crashed. Yet again, the situation was put under control with a lot of hard work.
Third time, the attack came unwarranted. And got to know about it after some time. My ill-fated computer was taken over by the same XP Smart security virus, and the anti-virus had already stopped working. Surprisingly, the problem was fixed and am back to my blog, happily writing this virus story.
Seriously, it surprises me, when I didn't bother about virus and anti-virus both, nothing (practically nothing) happened to my computer. But yes, when I started using an anti-virus program for my computer's safety, it became more prone to these malware attacks. This relationship between anti-virus and virus is strange.
So, wherever there's an anti-virus, there's a virus (not the other way round). I definitely don't want to get into an argument over which came first, virus or anti-virus. But what can be deduced from my computer's virus story- it is definitely the anti-virus which came first.
