Ubuntu cannot harm your computer's hardware at all. If you dont have much experience with installing operating systems, and try to install ubuntu, there's a possibility that you can overwrite all the data that is currently on the hard drive. However, if you are installing Ubuntu on a blank hard drive, then there is no harm that can be done by doing so. Ubuntu is a very useful linux-based operating system.

I have several hard drives from dead computers that i want to retrieve files from. Is ther a component that I can plug them into and plug in to a port (usb) on my computer to do this?

It depends on the type of hard drive. If they are USB hard drives, then yeah you can plug them in via USB. But if they are standard hard drives they will have to be connected internally. There are a number of adapter cases on the market that will do this. Try to find one that does NOT require you to actually put it in the case. Search for SY-UEN-5SL in Yhahoo. If you are not a computer expert you may harm your computer. Try to contact a professional Computer Repair Services.

Malicious code can corrupt files, erase your hard drive, and allow hacker access to your system. However, it does not make your computer more secure; rather, it typically exploits vulnerabilities and compromises security. The primary goal of malicious code is to cause harm or gain unauthorized access, not to enhance security.
