I like how you would download a totally random executable and run it. Not suspicious at all!

Only time I ever got a virus that crashed my PC was from an old-school forum that apparently was hacked to include a drive-by download of some type that infected my PC just from loading the webpage. The shit wouldn't even boot and I didn't try to recover it, because I had just imaged the hard drive a week before luckily.
