MYTH: "my files are damaged, so it must have been a virus attack"
Users often claim a virus attack if anything out of the ordinary happens to their computer -- particularly if it
occurs on a "well-known" trigger date, e.g. 6 March or 22 August or any
Friday the 13th.
Reality:
Odd computer behavior could also happen because of a power flux, or static electricity, or a fingerprint on a
floppy disk, or a bug in your software, or perhaps a simple error on your part. Power failures, spilled cups of
coffee, and user errors have destroyed more data than all viruses combined.
