This one time when I used to use windows, and I thought limewire was the shiz, I downloaded a file called "Sims 2 No CD crack.exe" or whatnot, and when it finished, I paused for a moment, thought, "I am a (adjective) idiot", and ran the program. After it started, nothing happened, and I had the same thought again.

So I shut the computer off and reinstalled windows.

[edit] I'm not sure if you're asking for stories, or advice.
If it's advice, you will probably notice your computer going slower than usual and money being taken out of your bank account.

1. you're running windows
2. stuff doesn't work like it's supposed to
3. adverts popping up, stuff like system restore or your antivirus doesn't work
4. weird stuff happens.. your desktop pic changes, screensaver changes, default browser.. etc changes

If your computer sets on fire, that's usually a sign of a problem ._.
