I have an AVG Antivirus but some confusion about it so please tell me about it. I want to know, can a virus damage computer hardware? I have tried all suggested solutions but not give me. Give me a better suggestion related to this topic Thank You
Can a virus damage computer hardware? No. ... That being said, a virus could corrupt data on the computer, including the software drivers that are used to allow hardware devices to communicate with the computer. If this were to occur, it may prevent the device from working, but it would not physically damage the hardware.
Unlike viruses, worms do not have to attach themselves to a program in your computer, and may not damage files on an infected computer. Instead, worms more often slow down computer networks by eating up bandwidth, or your computer's ability to process data, as the malware replicates and spreads.
No. Computer viruses are software code designed to spread to computer files and other computers, delete files, and cause other problems with the data on the computer. If you're experiencing an issue with a hardware device, such as a printer, video card, sound card, or other hardware device, it is not due to a virus.
