Is Windows a Virus?
No, Windows is not a virus. Here's what viruses do:
• They replicate quickly - okay, Windows does that.
• Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so - okay, Windows does that.
• Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk - okay, Windows does that too.
• Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems. Sigh... Windows does that, too.
• Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware. Yup, that's with Windows, too.
Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences:Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature.
So Windows is not a virus.
It's a bug.

Hi Ken,
no calls to external dlls (As far as I know)
Strangely the old version of the game now suffers from the same
problem. It doesn´t respond to mouseclicks anymore and everything
slowed down dramatically. When I open the Taskmanager with the old game
version it doesn´t show up that task. (Only the modified version does
and when I force quit the app the tasks are gone...) So I think the old
version *should* work. I played it on the same machine and all was
fine. The only thing I changed with the machine was connecting another
monitor and updateing the virus killer. (Antivir personal) I guess this
shouldn´t cause any problems.
Now I´m stuck. :-(
You might want to remove any adware/spyware that may be on your machine as
well, along with the virus sweep. I use SpySweeper (www.webroot.com), and
it's been wonderful at getting rid of the garbage that is automatically
downloaded from some web sites.
