    As the comment suggests, run an anti-malware software like adwcleaner.

    My suggestion is to always use a browser with an ad blocker (adblock plus works wonders on chrome), set the UAC alerts to the maximum and avoid suspicious download sites and that sort of things. Make all file extensions visible, so you know if you're playing an MP3 and not an exe with a fancy MP3 icon and things like that.

    Deal4Me is classified as adware which claims that online shoppers can compare between available deals and promotions with the new save on browser add-on with it. If you like shopping online and want to save money and time, you may think this application is a helpful tool. By using this adware program, you will be provided various deals and promotions. However, many unexpected problems may also occur as well. If you cannot remove Deal4Me from Control Panel, try to use a professional malware removal tool to clear it completely.

    Actually, it is possible, as the recent nVidia incident showed. Basically, a bug in the graphic card driver would drive the fan too slowly, which could eventually lead to damage of the GPU. So, speaking of drivers, it is possible, even though modern hardware should have built-in protection against that.

    Can't be done.

    Simplest answer I can give you. Without hardware / firmware modifications on all of the devices it is impossible. You can't just make your computer blow up no matter what you see in movies.

    Quick answer- no. You can render the mobo unusable with a failed flashing though windows though.
