Hello,

yesterday i took a rapid antigentest 4in1 combo pack.
I had one Red Line AT C and 2 red lines where FLUA and FLUB was marked and A C Line on the other side of the test and below the C Line there were no lines for RSV and no lines for Sars-Cov-2.

Does this then really means that I have Influenza A and B at the same time? I only have a slight headache but my work colleague was tested positive for Sars-Cov-2 at the same time.

All right. So, i just booted up my computer, keep in mind, I do not own anything mario related. I just opened google, And random mario game noises starting playing. Like WTF? I dont even own mario. And i didnt do anything. I havent even thought about mario for a while till this happened. wth happened?

In the realm of microbiology, viruses often get a bad rap. They're associated with illness, disease, and pandemics, leading many to perceive them solely as agents of destruction. However, if we take a closer look, we might discover that viruses have a more nuanced role to play in the grand tapestry of life. Contrary to popular belief, viruses can be beneficial and exhibit a remarkable capacity to coexist without dominating their territories. Let's explore this lesser-known aspect of viruses and appreciate their ability to simply "hang out" without overstepping their bounds.

First and foremost, it's crucial to understand that viruses are incredibly diverse entities. While some viruses are indeed pathogenic and cause diseases in humans, animals, and plants, countless others lead relatively benign lives. In fact, many viruses have formed symbiotic relationships with their hosts, contributing to various essential biological processes.

One prime example of this is bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria. Bacteriophages play a vital role in regulating bacterial populations in environments ranging from soil to our own bodies. By infecting and lysing bacteria, they help maintain microbial balance, prevent the overgrowth of certain bacterial species, and even facilitate nutrient cycling in ecosystems.

Beyond their ecological significance, viruses also participate in genetic exchange and evolution. Through processes like horizontal gene transfer, viruses can transfer genetic material between different organisms, potentially driving evolutionary innovation and adaptation. In this way, viruses act as agents of genetic diversity, contributing to the rich tapestry of life on Earth.

Moreover, viruses are masters of subtlety when it comes to their interactions with hosts. Unlike some pathogens that overwhelm their hosts with aggressive tactics, viruses often adopt a more laid-back approach. They may establish latent infections, where they reside within host cells without causing immediate harm, or enter into mutualistic relationships where both virus and host benefit.

Take, for instance, endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), remnants of ancient retroviral infections that have integrated into the genomes of many vertebrate species, including humans. While ERVs have lost their ability to replicate independently, they have left indelible marks on host genomes, shaping evolution by providing genetic material for the development of new traits and functions.

In essence, viruses are like the guests at a party who know how to blend in without causing a scene. They hang out on the sidelines, quietly influencing their surroundings without overtly disrupting them. Their presence might go unnoticed until circumstances necessitate their involvement, at which point they spring into action with precision and finesse.

However, this isn't to say that viruses are always benign or without consequences. Like any other organism, viruses can cause harm under certain conditions, especially when ecological balances are disrupted or when they encounter susceptible hosts. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers posed by emerging viruses and the importance of understanding viral ecology and epidemiology.

In conclusion, viruses are not simply agents of terror or destruction; they are integral components of the complex web of life. By recognizing their diverse roles and appreciating their subtle interactions with hosts and environments, we can gain a deeper understanding of the intricate dynamics that shape our world. Viruses may not always overstand territories, but they certainly know how to hang out without causing undue chaos. Perhaps it's time we give these microscopic marvels the appreciation they deserve.

When I visited Germany there was often posters and signs at bathrooms emphasizing keeping your hands dry in order to prevent Germ contamination after washing hands each time you use the toilet. So use paper towels or air dryers immediately after sanitizing at the sink was a frequent slogan I seen in German restrooms.

How true are these claims so pushed by the German government that signs are posted almost eveywhere with backing by German government organizations?

I had RSV about 3 weeks ago and I've been having stomach rumbling (as well as abdominal pain and some diarrhea) ever since. Has anyone else experienced this during the weeks after getting over the infection?

They have just randomly opened Terraria while I was playing fallout, minimised my game and gave me a popup saying I can enjoy it without interruption

Do you think separating the app using a Virtual Space for them makes it so the virus cant do anything?

is it safe i mean its on microsoft store

Number 3 ILOVEYOU This virus serves to be the closest to Mydoom, As In Second Most Destuctive Virus,

Number 4 YOUAREAIDIOT

This Virus spams a error saying YOU ARE A IDIOT Yeah that’s all,

Number 5 Bonsi Buddy Basically A NPC that comes on your screen and says he will destroy your computer and he does That’s all for him,

Number 6 MEMZ This one says that your computer is done for by the virus if you restart or do anything to get rid of it, it will take you to the bsod then the killscreen Which is a Nyan cat flying.

Number 7 Infinite Blue This virus puts you at the blue screen of death, but it goes on forever.

Number 8 Zeus This virus is used by criminals to hack or help rob a bank or other.

Number 9 Brain Brain serves as the first computer virus ever created. Created in 19 January 1986.

Number 10 Sobig Sobig is a computer worm Which copy’s itself to propagate to new machines.

Number 11 Morris This computer worm almost destroyed the internet Which makes it very destructive. But weirdly less than ILOVEYOU or Mydoom.

Phew. That was a lot of viruses. Hope you liked it!

i keep finding apps like these on my phone, but the antivirus softwares say that my phone is not infected, what could these be?

For example I do a phone factory reset but use same Google account on new phone. Can I get a virus back on my device from this?

(What I guess I mean is that for example if it syncs itself back into the phone?)

I am having an issue, stated above. If this has happened to anyone, lmk how you fixed it, bc I've tried using a virus finder app and it showed everything was fine.

PS: It did it while I was typing the message above.

When I stayed at a hotel in Paris during New Years week, they did not have any regular soap at all at the sink. Neither bar and liquid. What they had was a special tube dispenser that shot out shampoo. Yes t all the sinks literally had shampoo in place of soap.

In addition at the shower no body washing lotion/oils or bar soap either. It was literally a tube dispenser stuck hanging near the wall.

I'm wondering now since my trip so is shampoo just as effective as effective for washing hand cleans as regular soap? Including at sanitizing hands of germs, viruses, and other hurtful microbes?

So today i wanted to download a song from youtube i went to notube and pasted the url then i got sent to a weird website i thought it was from notube there was a recaptcha wanting to know if im a robot i clicked on it and then they asked me to enable notifications i didnt click on it and just closed the website now i dont know if i have a virus or not i scanned with windows defender and malwarbytes then hitman pro they found nothing exept onedrive was suspicous somehow so i need help

Alright, I’m gonna keep this short. One time, I was walking on the side of the street and saw a cat lying on the street with blood I assumed even if it was night time already. I was so sad to see that cat but anyway, I’m gonna set aside any emotional part of this post. Moving on, I walked for 10-20 mins more then suddenly, 2 dogs stood in front of me. One sniffed my slippers for like 2 times. I was worried for myself and thought of rabies but I’m vaccinated so that thought passed. But then, I suddenly thought what if my slippers had tiny blood particles from walking that area with the cat and what if the blood had saliva and what if the cat had rabies. I’m now worried about the dogs. Im thinking if I should go back to the area where the 2 dogs are and tell the owner and give them money for shots. I don’t know if I’m overthinking but there’s anxiety that lingers on and off. Am I being rational still or what? Any advice pls?

Why am I worried? I’m worried what if the 2 dogs will get rabies and what if they will affect other people? I cannot bear the thought of just sitting around when I could have done something to avoid these concerns

I dont know what this is... im also gettting pop ups for a MCAfee subcription but i dont have that, they are also coming from the same website

I was looking at a games wiki then this popped up, i accidentally clicked allow and now im getting pop ups and they wont go away. The scan says they arent infected but when i click to see details on them, the microsoft websites says these files can serverly impact my device and are bad what do i do?

these are things im getting from a MRT scan the scan also says that they are to malicious malware detected.

is it possible AIDS is caused by the poo inside a dick during anal sex swapping positions with the semen and infecting the reproductive system due to suction and fluid dynamics under vacuum if ejaculating inside a lover. Peace!

Does anyone have a pop up virus virus to annoy your friends with

I plugged a USB stick into my computer and used File Explorer to view the contents of a folder on the stick. Immediately I received a notification that Windows Defender didn't like an EXE file in the folder. I then manually deleted the offending file (which was never run) from the stick. Ever since, even with the USB unplugged, WD keeps telling me the file is a threat when I run a scan. I go ahead and ask WD to Remove the (non-existent) file but the next time I run a scan it flags it again.

It's as if the suspect file is caught in some kind of WD cache. Any ideas on how to stop this?
