Can streaming crash a PC?

Solved

Hello,
my friend planted her AMILO mobile. Could the fact that her children are constantly watching movies online, without ever cleaning anything, be responsible for that?

    It's not by watching streaming movies that you can mess up a PC (even if it's illegal), the problem probably lies elsewhere...

    Good evening, stuck in which way?
    stuck like dead or stuck like frozen and having to reboot?

    To clean up, I recommend CCleaner.

    Good evening

    Normally no, it's not dangerous for a PC to watch streaming except that it's usually prohibited

    But what can be dangerous is that the sites are often packed with ads etc
    that can send you to links that are infected and if they do anything they can put viruses on you etc

    to verify, I invite you to post a topic in the virus and security section. They are very knowledgeable and will be able to confirm whether it crashed due to a virus.

    No, it's not more dangerous than surfing the internet; if you have malware or a virus through streaming for whatever reason, your antivirus will inform you. Still, make sure to run scans, defragment your PC regularly, and remove software that you don't use (check in Control Panel, Programs and Features) to keep your PC in better shape. And by the way, not all streaming is illegal; Google is your friend.
