360 virus?

Here's what happened:

Playing Halo 3 on Live during a Social Slayer match. A member of our team starts to team kill and gets booted. After getting booted, my screen distorts and the game freezes. There were verticle characters across the screen when it froze. Restarted the system and I'm at the dashboard. The system read the game as a bad dvd, so I went back to the dashboard and once again verticle lines and freezes. So I try to play Call of Duty 4. After a few rounds of multiplayer, not connected to live, verticle lines and freezes again. Now everytime I turn it on, it won't go for more than a few minutes without getting the verticle lines and freezing.

Has anyone else experienced or heard of something like this before? Could it be a virus?

I have never heard of a virus for the 360. There really is no way for another person to put any files or data onto your 360. It is most likely something hardware related.rorywillis

Really?

Xbox 360 + Ethernet cable - Xbox live/Internet

Someone could easily hack into it. If he has his xbox linked from PC to xbox wirelessly its even worse because you can just upload a virus and send it to the xbox. Hardware failure? ..... Like what?

Did you just ask what a hardware failure could be, maybe something inside of the Xbox came lose, i'm not an expert, so i can't say a specific thing, but Hardware failure is as good an answer as any, and i think he should talk to Microsoft, because whether or not it is a virus, or hardware, they'll still do something about it....

There is no virus,Especially on the 360 on the Original Xbox there was tons of hackers and mods all over the place if it was possible they would have started hacking but they couldint so i highly dought that they will be able to do it on the 360.
