Can computer viruses be contracted through a computer scanner?
BlackMarket
Definitely not.Computer Viruses cannot be contracted through a computer scanner, not to be confused with an anti-virus scanner. Although a hardware scanner inputs data into the computer from a hard copy, it's impossible for a virus to infect the computer because the text is either made into an image or as plain-text.
