well, spam might as well not be on that list because I've never had a spam problem hurt my computer

I'd probably say that most likely one to cause a problem is a virus.... it's not likely that your computer will get "hacked".... but getting a virus is quite easy.

Although separating viruses from hacking is sort of difficult since some viruses (trojans) are used as ways to hack into your computer, so to speak.

My vote goes to viruses though.... if only for how likely you are to get one if you're not careful on the internet.

By "spam" do you mean malware?

Malware and spyware is dangerous as it can lead to more adware or possibly indentity theft. So can hackers.

But was is bad for your computer itself are viruses.

it really depends on how you see it,

a virus can ultimately lead to devastation to your computer, destroying files, drive crash.

spam or malware can be blocked and so it is not so bad.

a hack tho, most hacks are for personal gain, unless the hacker is an evil monkey that likes to destroy people's computers than good security protocol and good habits prevent most hacks.

I voted viruses, because my friend had one in the past and she had her computer formated. She lost tons of data.
If you ask which is the most annoying for me, I will say hacks(I hate people mess up with my personal information). But for the computer itself, the worst is a virus.

I would say a virus. It causes the most damage, sometimes is the hardest to get rid of, and really can just be a pain when you get infected with one. Spam is probably at the bottom of the list and really isn't much of a threat unless it is carrying on of these other hosts.

A virus is definitely the worst thing that can happen to you computer, no one wants a virus because a virus can delete your files and infect your computer so bad you wont be able to use it again! Second would be hack,

Pfft... You didn't even list the most dangerous. Sure a virus is usually imminently dangerous, malware can screw up you machine and it truly is hard to hack someone's computer unless a virus or malware opens a back door.

The most dangerous, is the worm. Why, you only need to connect to the internet to be infected. It doesn't need an invitation to your computer like virus' and malware do (you have to visit a site or download infected files for virus' and malware). You might not even know you have a worm on your machine, but the person who wrote the worm now has complete control of you machine. If you don't believe me read up on the Storm worm and how it has millions upon millions of computers infected that it can turn into a botnet to take down whatever it wants.

Definitely a virus.

Hackers use the internet. All you do is pull the plug and they lose access. Fix everything without the internet and it will be easier for them to go look for someone else than to attack you again.

Malware is problematic, but easier to get rid of than viruses.

Viruses spread all across the computer and lie in wait until you do something that triggers it. Once it's triggered, it can be a real pain to stop. If it gets into the system, you're computer is pretty much dead.

Hacking isn't that harmful. Except the hacker can get your personal information and identity...something I'd look out for.

Virus' are most harmful to a computer....it can slowly shut down a computer within weeks. Virus are usually contracted by opening corrupted emails and going on sites you should'nt have.
