What Jason said. Unless the virus is physically coded to infect your modem/router (not sure if that's even possible or not), then it won't effect it.

Uh, that's not necessarily rude, it's a true fact. If your computer needed repair, would you take it to a shop where the technician was physically dragging the mouse on top of the monitor, wondering why the cursor wasn't moving?

Yeah and you almost didn't when I was the only one who actually followed your own rules lol.

It's true though, someone that should be able to get rid of a virus off of another persons computer should at least know this. Of course when you get it, run an antivirus and anti malware program, if it's still got the same issues as before, just post here for help and if needed ultimately a reformat.

Just be careful becky, if you're hooking his computer up to any external monitor/keyboard/mouse you own, those might get infected and in turn infect any other computers they later connect to.

Unless you have some awesome gaming mouse with internal memory that shows an removable storage, you can't infect peripherals.

You sure were happy with me in these two threads where I helped you in some way:

Come onnnnn....serious.

k..i need this:


But I say one true fact that isn't something that you want to read, and now I'm a douche, eh? Just because I rightfully won $5 in your contest does not mean I'm not going to post something that I would have said no matter who was posting.

I actually stole that from "Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs." I just reek of maturity.

Becky, "mature" has nothing to do with it - it's simply stating truth that if you have to ask if your modem will get infected, that you probably aren't too fit to be helping someone's PC get un-infected. Getting upset about the comments only increases how much fun they are to make.

EDIT: OG's above post is right. You got bent out of shape just because someone called you out on technological illiteracy.

omg.....like this must NOT be the right thread.oooor I didn't read the THREAD RULES...because if u post a question here, you
1-must already know the answer
2-must be bitchy people who accidently come here asking a question
3-be ruthless in your unnecessary banter
4-obviously don't have a real life
5-Have the compassion of a dead rat

I will go elsewhere.
