A virus can run in the background as part of a botnet, leeching quietly off your internet connection, being used to spam or as part of a DDOS attack. It can be sending off your private files, keylogging for credit card numbers and the like. Viruses prefer to be quiet and not noticable for the user - that way they don't get removed.

Funny because I think every web browser looks something like IE.

If you dont like the signatures that go as follows "*insert high percentage here* of people have *insert random verb.* If you are part of the *enter low percentage that adds up to 100 with previous percentage* that *insert the antonym of the verb used previously* then put this in your signature" then put this in your signature!!!
