| infection says: Hard drive rotation speed decreased by 20% Posted: 29 Feb 2012 10:59 PM PST  If it wasn’t so annoying, some of the “informational” messages that you get from an infection are almost comical. I had one the other day that did its usual fake scan, and then gave some messages that were meant to frighten someone who didn’t know much about computers. Here is a sample:
Now most computer people know that its virtually unheard of that a hard drive rotational speed will increase so much as to actually cause a problem. Similarly, RAM speed is virtually unchangeable, and even if it did change, the system has check in place to add extra delays if its running slow. And then the hard drive rotation speed decrease… it feels like they are contradicting the first statement. But then, if you don’t know, then the infection just needs to display something that might sound vaguely plausible. Non technical people (ie most computer users), could believe such statements. Its like a motor mechanic saying that your engines conrod slide bearings are worn… to me, that could mean anything… but it sounds serious (and expensive). Related posts:
