Personal Computer

 

The Personal Computer can be gotten through the Larceny crime, in the Apartment, the Detached House and in the Office.
You can also buy them in City > Torn Super Store, and get them for substantially lower through the Item Market, Auction House, and the Trading Post in the forums.

If you select [Turn on] next to your computer in your inventory, you will be given a list of viruses that you can Program, depending on what educations you have completed, and for the Firewalk Virus, your level.
Only one virus can be coded at a time.

Viruses allow you to attempt the 'Plant a computer virus' crime, using whatever virus' you have in your inventory. The better the virus, the better the crime.You don't need a new virus for every time you attempt a crime, they can be used repeatedly as long as you have them in your inventory.
They can also be sold at the City > Cyber Force, which gets you money and networth.

These are the viruses that you can Program, and their requirements;

Virus Days to complete Requirement Value
Simple Virus 10 Basic Computing Course $ 500
Polymorphic virus 25 Intermediate Programming Course $ 4,500
Tunneling virus 40 Intermediate Programming Course $ 10,000
Armored virus 60 Expert Programming Course $ 75,000
Stealth virus 100 Expert Programming Course $ 200,000
Firewalk Virus 120 Level 20, Expert Programming Course $ 100

Owning the Virus only means you can attempt the crime.
To pass, you will still need good crime exp... Keep trying crimes you can do until you get to Virus crimes.

this is for -AR-DiggeR

this the response i got from maria, when i used the ask a question on the city link

Your question:
why isnt it possible to program viruses using laptop
Our reply:
Your Laptop

After waiting a few seconds for your laptop to boot and start up, you start to browse through a few things you can do, like browse the highest 5 prices for weapons you can buy when you land in the city

> Check out your inbox
> Check out the highest Auction prices
> Check out the Item Market prices

You can't use the laptop when in another city.

If you get networth for selling the virus, say the tunneling for $10,000, but you would only get up to $1,100 for doing the crime, isn't it better to sell the virus then do the crimes? or am i missing something here?

TCB: You can use a virus for a crime as many times as you want.

TCB: You can just leave it, you'll get an event when the virus is finished.
