    I not only defined power virus and cited the source, I proved that OCCT does not meet the criteria, and yet you keep pushing the point.

    EPIC FAIL
    How so?
    Where does it say that OCCT doesn't meet the criteria of a power virus?
    Simply, in this case, instead of excessive heat causing the problem it is excessive power draw, supposedly.

    Again, how so?
    I guess people are interpreting the definition of a power virus differently...
    If defending my POV and opinion is harming my rep, so be it.

    TBH, I did not know before this thread the term "power virus" refers to a malicious app. I've encountered the term to be used for unusually higher power draw inducing apps in the past...
    I think people are getting too hung up on the word malicious.
    I also agree with the last part, for that is what I am referring to.

    So you use the app, that is the same as a power virus, except that you simply have the ability to abort the app, if needed. It still is a power virus at the root.

    While we're at it it's not a trojan either, those are either inhabitants of Troy, condoms or malware which provides clandestine access ala the Trojan horse of legend. I think we can all agree OCCT doesn't protect your willy.

    Did I miss some form of malware with which you will label this stress testing tool next? u bidder of post re-reading. You'r posts are irrational due to your fallacious arguments.

    I'm sorry for going OT I know I'm not supposed to feed the trolls. I rcognize that I have a impulse control problem and I'll go sit in the corner now.
    I'm sorry you think I am a trolll...
    I also didn't realize that trolls take the time to gather results to post and try to discuss things in a civil manner. I will do my best to stop these actions I previously mentioned...
    Again people are focusing too much on the individual words and not the whole. Please see above.

    Once the government outlaws your guns your life is forfeit. You're already dead, it's just a question of when they are going to get around to you.
