I thought that viruses could destroy both the software and the hardware, but, apparently, it can only mess with the software. I'm not telling you the other one I got wrong, because if I did, you all would think I was stupid and you'd laugh at me and make fun of me and call me names. :(infohttps://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/users/#infoMay 29, 2016 at 12:10 PM by Take the Virus, Trojan horse and Malware Quiz or TriviainfoWe are not here to laugh at anyone.

"CIH filled the first 1024 KB of the host's boot drive with zeros and then attacked certain types of BIOS. Both of these payloads served to render the host computer inoperable, and for most ordinary users the virus essentially destroyed the PC.

A lot of people, including my friends, have disagreed on the answer for Question #3 as well. But, let me try and explain the reason for my answer.The BIOS is software or a set of programming instructions, so it can be altered or erased by a virus, if the manufacturer of the motherboard uses some form of flash or rewritable memory.But the CMOS, which is the hardware, where the BIOS is stored, cannot be physically damaged by a virus.A lot of people think that the BIOS and the CMOS are the same thing.
