Probably it depends on what kind of game you want to play. If you want to play a game that you should keep downloading maps or etc from some kind of web sources, it causes some problems on your computer.

another answer::::::::::::::::::::::::
Use a batch file (Example.bat) to change it from to a non hidden and a non read only file. It will convert it to a deletable folder and delete it. Do not delete the Autorun file because I found that the virus changed one of my documents to the autorun.
@Echo off
ATTRIB -S -A -H -R
Pause
Then if no errors come up after running the batch right click on RECYCLER folder and click delete.
Make sure the Batch is in the drive not the subdirectry.
(Example) - DriveLeter>Example.bat
Hope this helps : )
Please note that the following advice if taken will absolve me from any responsibility. I am only reporting what I did to get rid of the virus installed on my hard drive.
1. You should be able to see your root drive root drive which is c: or d: etc.
2. Ensure that you are able to see hidden files by going to Tool>Folder Option>view and checking off hidden files.
3. System Volume Information and Recycler should be visible in your root drive (c: d: or whatever drive you use)
4. Right Click on Recycler folder and go to Properties.
5. Go to the tab labeled Security, If your user name is not there then add your username that you use for XP . Give yourself all security rights as well as the SYSTEM user. Then press okay. If you cannot see the security tab and you are using XP professional then go to Tool>Folder Option>View uncheck box "Use simple File sharing" then select Apply.
6. Right Click on System volume information folder and go to Properties. Repeat step 5.
7. Go to the garbage icon on the desktop and right click. Choose properties then check the box " Do not move files to the recycle bin. Remove files immediately when deleted." Press Apply.
8. Go back to the root drive and delete Recycler folder.
9. Go to the System Information folder and delete the last folder. These folders are where Xp has taken a snapshot of your system in order to restore it. The virus is hiding here in the event that you restore it is also restored.
10. You should now open the registry editor and remove the virus from here so that when you restart the virus is not recreated.
11. Open the registry editor. Start >Run> then type regedit in the box and select OK The registry will now open.
12. Hit Ctrl+F Type Recycler in the search box . Delete the entry when found. press F3 to find the next occurrance of Recycler and delete.
13. Close regedit.
14. Go to all installed harddrives and so steps 2- steps 6, steps 8 and steps 9.
15. Run your virus software. You should be able to update any virus software that was previously unupdatable.
16. Reboot your computer
17. Verify that that the reycler folder is deleted from you root drive.
18. Then you can uncheck the box in the garbage that you checked in step 7. To keep all you deleted files in case you need to restore a file that was accidentally deleted.
My findings: This virus is recreated using the methods of the garbage bin. Everytime you delete a file it recreates itself because it looks in the garbage and restores or copies the virus information inside. If the virus is not able to be stored inside and is immediately removed when you check the box in step 7. Then it cannot recreate itself and all of its power is lost. So erasing it from the registry and drive ensures that it cannot return.

Can sims 3 give you virus on the computer?

A computer virus is a computer program that can replicate itself and spread from one computer to another. The term "virus" is also commonly, but erroneously used, to refer to other types of malware, including but not limited to adware and spyware programs that do not have a reproductive ability.
Viruses can increase their chances of spreading to other computers by infecting files on a network file system or a file system that is accessed by other computers.
As stated above, the term "computer virus" is sometimes used as a catch-all phrase to include all types of malware, even those that do not have the ability to replicate themselves. Malware includes computer viruses, computer worms, Trojan horses, most rootkits, spyware, dishonest adware and other malicious or unwanted software, including true viruses. Viruses are sometimes confused with worms and Trojan horses, which are technically different. A worm can exploit security vulnerabilities to spread itself automatically to other computers through networks, while a Trojan horse is a program that appears harmless but hides malicious functions. Worms and Trojan horses, like viruses, may harm a computer system's data or performance. Some viruses and other malware have symptoms noticeable to the computer user, but many are surreptitious or simply do nothing to call attention to themselves. Some viruses do nothing beyond reproducing themselves.

Can narutospot put a virus on your computer?
Affirmative. Something connected with NarutoSpot has occasionally been shown to download a false Security Center. This looks nearly identical to the security center window that is part of Windows Vista and Windows 7. If you do not get this closed out IMMEDIATELY, it will automatically start "scanning" your computer. In reality what it is doing is infecting your computer with several copies of a nasty virus and adding root kits to your computer. Then it will inform you that virii have been detected and try to get you to pay for a "service" that supposedly removes the inffection, but which in reality does not. It is associated with a program called security which loads on startup and shows up on program manager. The virus will not allow you to shut it down or remove it through standard means one you have been infected.
What happens if you delete a virus from quarantine?
It will be deleted from the system in which it was found, unless it has infected a important file. Then the file will be healed.

The Coxsackie B viruses are members of the enterovirus genus and are the most common agent for myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy constituting 50% of infections. The group coxsackievirus was named because these viruses were pathogenic for infant mice and because the first virus of this type was isolated from a patient from the town of Coxsackie New York. Coxsackie B infection is characterized by fever, fatigue, malaise and chest pains. Infection of the heart by a coxsackie B virus can lead to viral myocarditis. Viral myocarditis is a inflammatory disease of the heart which can result in heart failure. Although the disease does not usually cause death, there is a 20% incidence of reoccurrence and permanent heart damage typically results.
