[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 720060, member: 24098"] It's not that they're not "supposed to" - there is none, period. A computer virus is not an unfortunate happenstance that just occurs as it would in humans or animals. It's a deliberately crafted piece of software - and so far, no one has created one. Sometimes a failing hard drive can be undetectable to diagnostic software. It happens. In this case, it sounds very much like that's exactly what's going on. At any one point, did you drop into single user mode and run fsck? [/QUOTE]
