There is no reason why rimfire cartridges should not feed reliably. Thousands, if not millions, of Marlin 60 rifles and Ruger pistols are living proof. A rimmed (although not rimfire) cartridge is the oldest cartridge still in active military service - 7.62x54R.

There are some bad rimfire designs out there, but they are bad because of their designers, not because they are rimfire.

I believe what most jammomatic rimfires suffer from is cheap materials and shoddy workmanship. They generally use more plastic and cheaper and thinner metal, which lead to faster wear and are easily damaged. Even so, the AR-7, when made by an older incarnation of Charter Arms, was more or less a single shot rifle, where the original Armalite ones ran without a hitch.

How can you stop your computer jamming?

Your computer is jamming up because of worms. Worms tend to slow up the system and are often undetectable. I would suggest that you install a good antivirus ( i would suggest Quickheal) as manually trying to weed out the worm infested files could be difficult. There is also a chance of you deleting a wrong file.
