Not sure if it was a virus, or someone hacked into my computer and did it manually, but here it goes anyhow.

About 2 months after the movie the Matrix came out, I was typing up some work I was doing in excel on making a new gaming system. When, suddenly, black pixels start forming from the top of the screen down, making the screen black when it got to the bottom. Then, I got a message in the top left corner that said "Follow the White Rabbit...." and it locked up.

Umm, when I say "locked up", the power button was even disabled. I had to unplug the machine to get it to shut down. Rebooting didn't work, the machine was shot. I lost about 150 hours worth of work on that one project alone, not to mention everything else we lost on that computer. Which, my parents blamed on me doing it.
