rookidmart:
OP, most of them are correct, except the following which are backronyms:

The word "Google" is actually a misspelling of the word googol, the number one followed by one hundred zeros, which was picked to signify that the search engine was intended to provide large quantities of information

Again this is another backronym.

The word computer is not even an acronym but originates from the Latin word computare "to count, sum up, reckon together," from com- "with" + putare "to reckon," originally "to prune"

The word virus is not an acronym, probably from PIE root *weis- "to melt away, to flow,".

Ovi is not an acronym but a borrowed word from Finnish word " ovi" meaning "door"

Dell is not an acronym and is actually Eponymously named after its founder, Michael Dell.

Although I doubt that "Acer" is an acronym i couldn't find any source of the etymology of the word.

You can Let Others Know This
The rest are correct, although I stand to be corrected.

I Love you for this...

It is just an interplay of words
