Some questions about virus

Expand Post »
I have some questions about virus,

Can a virus cause damage to a Hard Drive or Motherboard physically or it only damages a perticular file like system file running in an OPERATING SYSTEM?

I hope my question is clear

Re: Some questions about virus

Virus damage is limited to software, although some viruses can require an OS reinstall.
