Windows 10: What I did during a virus and Microsoft please add security when people download stuff

Story is continuing. while the actual question is at the bottom.-----------------------------------------------------------I saved my data on my USB if I have to factory reset. and to test the virus i did it because I wanted to see what a random virus does.It went bad...1. Errors back and forth. [it was loud]2. My apps on my desktop was moving everywhere.3. My mouse cursor was just staying in the loading animation.4. I forced a blue screen, and now I have my device back to normal.I learned to not test a virus.Please don't fall for these scams, they can be a malware I knew it was a virus becaus

New Virus Comes Disguised as IE7 Download

If you receive an e-mail offering a download of Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2, delete it. A new virus is spreading all over the web. The e-mail includes a convincing graphic that looks like it could really be from Microsoft, and the virus is delivered when recipients click on the included link. The e-mails carry the subject line "Internet Explorer 7 Downloads" and appear to come from admin@microsoft.com. They include a blue, Microsoft-style graphic offering a download of IE 7 beta 2. Clicking the graphic will download an executable file called IE 7.exe. The file is actually a new virus called Virus.Win32.Grum. Security experts are still trying to analyze the virus, which may affect your registry, mail contact list or steal personal information from your computer.
