Detailed explanation-1: -When power is cut off, the current RAM state is deleted and so the virus stops working like everything else. Hence, virus cannot affect your computer when it is switched off.
Detailed explanation-2: -While your hardware won’t take any damage from a forced shutdown, your data might. If you are working on any files when things go bad, then at a minimum you will lose your unsaved work. Beyond that, it is also possible that the shutdown will cause data corruption in any files that you have open.
Detailed explanation-3: -At the same time, the virus is wreaking havoc: it can damage programs, delete files, and make devastating changes to your hard drive, all of which can result in reduced performance. Some viruses will even crash your entire system.
