Besides the fact that this sort of "virus" would spend hours to perform a
single garbage collection, you would know when the first one happened.  The
calculator actually gives you a message when a garbage collection is about
to be performed.  See page 345 and 345 of the manual if you have any
questions on this or my last message.
