How dangerous viruses can be to your computer system

Last semester, there was a series of very bizarre occurrences in school. The computers in school kept on crashing when people inserted their usb in them. It happened to me too I typed something at a work station at school and then when I went over to one of the computers to print my work. Then I went back to my work station to continue editing my work and the strangest thing happened. When I inserted the usb in the computer, there was an usb crash, all my documents over wrote each other and then the screen went blank meaning that the computers crashed too. The same was happening to other students who had gone to the printing station, and there was a lot of frustration and confusion in the computer lab. Then we came to find out that the information technology students had gotten bored and thus resulted in to creating a virus that would shut down all the electronic devices. The good thing is that they had an antivirus to fix the problem but that does not mean that we got our work back.
