It may not be from this site, But it could be from internet explorer or whatever you use. If you don't have anti-spyware then download ad aware and run it often and make sure your anti-virus is kept up to date. I have never had any sign of viruses from this site so I doubt it is from here. As I said it is most likely from internet explorer or whatever you use to connect to the internet.

I do get viruses but pretty sure not from here. i use mazilla fire fox internet explorer, Norton anti virus and Tenebril spy catcher. They grabs stuff all the time. if your on the net you will get viruses, spyware, ad ware etc....

Of course theys gunna have virus's, trojans, worms and ****. Look at the amount of people that frequenet a public forum. Add to the fact that some kids get SERIOUSLY pissed when you diss them or they quads, someone will try to tag you. Do like everyone says and keep your anti-virus updated, get ya a real firewall, and get some sort of software to check for the nasty's. There are free programs on the net. Of course there are ways around everything, but this will greatly reduce your chances of picking them up.

Come to think of it we usually have to dump the memory every 12-18 mos or so, even with all the protection. Apparantly like MD says, There are some really smart, computer savvy, bad guys out there using there knowledge while pissed off.

The only sure way to keep from getting a virus, is to use Mac...there hasnt been a virus for them in 10 years, spyware wont run on them either. No need for anti virus software, and no need for security updates. Just use it.
