The short answer is "No". Not just by hooking it up. After hooking up a virus infected Hard Drive, it would be best to run a full virus scan. Then you may retrieve photos, documents, etc. from the (formally) infected drive.and Russell is correct. If you access files on the infected Hard Drive prior to running a virus scan, you run the risk of infecting the host operating system.

Unfortunately yes, there is a very good chance you will if you open any files that were infected and you don't have a good anti-virus program running. If you aren't using an anti-virus program, don't transfer any files to your new computer. If you are, then run a scan on the drive and find out what viruses are there. You should then be able to disable them or delete them from the drive (depending on how malicious they are) It should then be possible to transfer your personal info to your new computer

Be sure to disable "Auto-Play" settings before attaching any external drive! I've seen USB sticks transfer malware this way, and since this device looks like a USB connection it could do the same thing.

Probably not, it plugs in to your laptop/desktop using a usb port which connects to your motherboard, you must have either a built in soundcard or one plugged into the motherboard for it to function. Im sure any $20-40 soundcard should work if yours is busted.

Well I hope I could help but to be frank, my has never given me such problem since I bought it. It has lasted for some months now and it is still up and running as if it is still new. you need check to see if virus isn't in the system

Probably not. Sounds like you damaged the actual computer, not just the glass.

yes but the power supply ate two of my hard drives and 2 usb sticks. I question the usb sticks but I plugged in a hard drive to the power supply which is hot swappable and it ate two of my hard drives.

Well you are dealing with less then one percent out of millions of ipod buyers. I think that your ipod will be just fine. But if you were really daring you could open it on your computer and check it for a virus. But i highly doubt that it would.

I do not remember if it comes with the usb cord to plug into your computer. Technically you should never plug your camera diectly into your computer. There is a chance that a virus can be transmitted to your camera by doing that. It is recommended to take the camera card out and place that into the camera card slot on your computer instead.

I am sorry it was installed in my computer and in three days shorted out and started a fire inside my computer... lucky for me and my family it while we where near it... I built a lot of computers so I know how to install parts so I had defective parts. Hope this helps

It has nothing to do with the computer. Without antivirus software or malware protection, the viruses will follow where ever you bring your infected files. Back up everything on to an external drive and run antivirus software on it to get rid of the files. Format your internal harddrive and reinstall your OS.

That is one of the reasons I bought a chrome box. I had assumed that since there was no real operating system that there would be no problems with viruses. So far so good!Art

Just depends on what you use the PC. If your not on the internet, you shouldn't be at risk; unless you are sharing files with other people maybe by usb drives or portable hard drives. If your computer is not exposed to anything from the outside, you don't even need antivirus. As I understand Webroot AV, it acts as line of defense to prevent the pc from catching the virus from the internet or other sources (infected USB drives and hard drives). It found viruses on my laptop after I installed so it works in that way as well. So if you already got a virus, you will need to be connected to the internet. With your 15gb plan, you will be getting on the internet so it should protect you from catching any viruses and warn you of dangerous webpages that may be infected and identify any viruses you may already have.

Its a waste of money and all it did do was quratine all the viruses i had. My computer still ran slow with pop ups and had to still get a computer specialist to fix it. Best decision was to get it fixed and now my computer runs like brand new again but cost $200. Best advice is get to a specialist asap.

Sorry for the delayed response, I'm purchased the computer in 2011 and I have had it since. I have had no problems with the computer except the "A" occasionally sticks. There was a security software on there for most of the computers life but there is not one currently since I have not needed to use the computer recently. I have not any virus problems with the computer. I have had no issues with it, I just don't need it.

I used to have MCafee and still my Computer died 2 years ago when it caught the Malware Virus. I was using Mcafee then it did not help. My roommate was able to revive my Computer. I just recently purchased this item and so far I have not got any virus's yet. My roommate is a Computer specialist she recommend this item.

No this will destroy your computer. You need to have a 2.25A power supply and also need to match up your output voltage.

No. It will be on your computer as long as the computer is active and operates without a virus.I was just unlucky to pick up a virus during the past year. My first WORD program lasted 10 years, with one re-load from the CD.
