answerer#2) I'm a frequent visitor to that site and thus far, have not gotten any viruses. (kind of addicted to that site too). I have the Ad-Aware protection so I think having an antivirus software helps when visiting movie sites. However, I do not recommend visiting any "free-movie" links without antivirus protection. You can download them free online.
Answerer#3) A student in my class had an account, so she let my teacher use it on Halloween day so the class could watch a movie. Unfortunately, around 15 minutes into the movie, the computer shut down. Nobody had touched a button. Not a thing. So she started it up again and put in a DVD. Same thing happened.

Evaluate the argument that emerging viruses are new viruses?
Viral evolution is a subfield of evolutionary biology that is specifically concerned with the evolution of viruses. Many viruses, in particular RNA viruses, have short generation times and relatively high mutation rates (on the order of one point mutation or more per genome per round of replication for RNA viruses). This elevated mutation rate, when combined with natural selection, allows viruses to quickly adapt to changes in their host environment.
Viral evolution is an important aspect of the epidemiology of viral diseases such as influenza, HIV, and hepatitis. It also causes problems in the development of successful vaccines and antiviral drugs, as resistant mutations often appear within weeks or months after the beginning of the treatment
How is a computer virus obtained?

Technically yes, but it can be removed.
Many people have reported finding a virus after uninstalling it. It can be identified as a Trojan by many Spyware categories, but some players claim that this is just a memory leak from its folder in the first place, and shouldn't be taken seriously.

Will not enough memory slow down your computer?
Yes. Low memory will give you a very slow running computer. While we can not just uninstall or remove programs from our computer, or delete files to free up space, a good way to increase the running speed is add a memory bar.
