Worst Things About a Computer

List of all thing that make you want to smash your computer.
The Top Ten
1 Viruses

I had a really bad virus. I got a MacBook Air a year ago, and when I searched "programs for MacBook" (I was bored) I found a site that I downloaded. It turns out that I got a really bad virus on my laptop, and I was forced to do some sort of reboot. I don't know computers that well, but I know a really bad virus when I see one.

This happened to this computer that I'm on from some website, don't know which one. But I know I'm never playing another computer game again. EVER. Please don't get a virus on yours. Be careful which sites you visit. If you see a pop-up ad, get off the site asap. My mother taught me this.

Recently my computer got a virus when I downloaded Simcity 5 (pirated) that was the worst thing that happened to my computer.I have work ready to be released from Grand Theft Auto 5 rockstar editor but I might as well get a new one.

Wow, so true. Viruses can do your computer so much harm and also can reduce inexperienced home computer owner to tears. Viruses are the most annoying and horrible thing that can go wrong which your computer.

2 Internet connection problems

You can't access the internet and it doesn't matter what you did, it doesn't affect the speed of your internet connection. Arguments with the dial up company always occurs, they keep insisting that you should wait, have connection problems and it always occurs

First world problems at its finest. As the computer has issues, you rage and cry for thirty minutes or so...

My slow internet connection kills a little part inside of me every time

This one time, me and my mom where photochating with our cousins on her phone and then all of a sudden, the phone just exits them off. etheir it was them or the phone itself cause of a virus. we thought it was a virus, so we had to buy mom a new one. crappy!

3 The Blue Screen of Death

Especially when you were in the middle of that super special project! -.- - queenoftheblackroses

It happens by many reasons, and just showing the code that makes me to search on Google about the meaning, and how should I do that if I have only one pc. - maipanida

Yup. This is what happens to Microsoft computers. My mom got it and I went insane (like happy insane) Because I've never seen it before

My mom like her computer so much when she got it, she screamed so loud until she got to go on it (my dad was hooking it up).

4 Freezing

very annoying, I had to restart my computer over and over again and the reason is Viruses which is #1 - ronluna

In these moments I could throw out the computer on the window - MatrixGuy

ANNOYING! That is why I want to reformat my PC1

You'll telling me annoying!

5 When it's slow for no reason

I trhy to play Cop Patrol on ROBLOX, I click play, nothing. I click play again, and it shows me the upgrading roblox message, then I get to the grey loading screen, it loads fast, but then the name of the game and creator pops up and it slows down so much, that I bet it would take decades to load, and then you get the annoying ID 17 problem, you lost connection to the game or the game has shut down message.

I hate it when the internet connection is very slow, you can't download, upload, surf the net, listen and watch videos and music and you can't even click the check button on this site.

Slow computers are your worst nightmare this thing happens to YouTube a lot. THe loadings come up being slow I waited and it would not go. I wish this piece of garbage would stop.

Worse if it's running even slower than a snail, you'll get annoyed by the "How long will this take!? "

7 When you want to go in a website and it says ''This page is having problem'' (or something like that) and you keep trying getting on it but it doesn't work

I mean, I've been like trying to get on a site and like I'm " what the heck " for like until I get over it, like 3 hours

It's so annoying

Waiting... searching Google.com... GETS ME IN THIS PAGE... "sorry, can't load. Sorry, Google.com is not responding. We need to kill the page." Next time I load, "sorry, but there's a problem" Now I'm done.

8 When you keep get warnings that ''there is a new update available''

I swear this is just built in by companies to annoy people. I think computers should just stop developing. And leave me in peace.

9 When random ads keep showing up

One time I got SEVENTEEN ADS on one YouTube page.

Incredibly annoying, but 90% of the time, an ordinary adblocker can remove them.

Snap. Do in a nutshell.

Ads suck

10 When it doesn't read your CD

Why yes. I almost flipped out because it was very hard to burn discs using Windows 8. Cause? IT DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THE DARN EMPTY DISK I PUT IN! IT JUST KEPT EJECTING THE DISK AND KEPT SAYING TO INSERT A DISK-yet I did. It kept doing it till' I got mad.
