I can assure you that the wiki is definitely not the source for any virus.

It is completely normal for a computer to become slow over time - easily because the registry of it slowly gets filled up as time passes and you install a lot, and the more space you use, the slower it gets. Also the whole computer is fragmented over time and that also makes it slower. Also you may have a lot of unneeded autostart programs you're probably not even aware of, taking up tons of your RAM thus once again making everything slower.

How to prevent this? There isn't much ways of completely avoiding this, you can just slow the process down by being careful with everything. I personally just put all needed files on my external hard drive and then install Windows newly every once in a while. Everything I didn't put on the external HDD gets deleted forever.

It is impossible for this wiki to have a virus, since it has tons of people visiting it - websites would have made us aware of it by now, as with every popular site that ends up having a virus. Also, your antivirus would strike at some point - and if it didn't over all this time you've been on here, it's impossible that there is a virus.
