Computer Viruses

[Grundig29]

I find the trojan that just sit there and keep copying themselves over and over fun. I had one of these about a month ago it got up to 992 viruses took me ages to remove them. One of the bliters got missed and the whole process started again that one got up to 1200 till i reformated and reinstalled xp

Quick question here, Can viruses wipe out your hardware at all?
