Got a Trojan and a Worm on my computer at home, so i'm not sure if I'll be able to get on very often lately. Never build your own computer out of used parts, it'll screw you over faster that a druggy girlfriend. Well, I'll be on when I can get on, just not sure if it'll be anytime soon... I'll try though, but I don't know. Anyway, even if I do get back on here, until I say something about a new computer, I might not be able to get on here very often.

That... doesn't seem right.
Hardware shouldn't infect your computer. It seems more like you didn't update your Anti-Virus or something really nasty managed to lobotomize it and get through. Building a computer out of spare parts alone won't get you a virus. The only case that this could happen would be using a hard drive that was already infected when you got it.

It's rare but not unheard of for a virus to actually get into hardware...in fact I've only seen it happen once: one of my friends got a very powerful virus that downloaded into his video card. Whatever computer we hooked the card into instantly got infected. Anyway past aside, that sucks Caramon and hopefully you're able to get it figured out soon
