Story of my father:
I left my old PC from college at home and my father use to play solitaire, hearts etc on it or watches cd/dvd occasionally.
It had XP and its bound to crash after sometime - and there's goes mine.
Since I wasn't home, father called some local 'mechanic' guy and shown him the problem.
Dunno what did the guy saw, but after watching sometime he came to a conclusion that "It got One VIRUS. and system need a format" (format is a colloquial of re-installation of OS )
And that was shocker for my father - till then for him a virus meant that disease creating cellular thing (bacteria-virus-amoeba etc etc).
Later he called me to know if that guy was correct about the virus thing.
