ninja_lord666 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I've never known Google to send viruses. :huh: Are you sure it's from those adds? I've seen Google adds on most every site, and my computer's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninja_lord666 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 If you are connected to the internet, you can contract AIDs computer viruses. They might even be sent directly to you. Now, I'm assuming no one is out to get you and maliciously sent you the virus. Also, why would adds give viruses? They wouldn't be effective adds then. Imagine seeing an add to buy something, and you are toying with thoughts of buying it. Then you find out that add sent you a virus. Would you still want to buy the item? I wouldn't Also, you said that a message came up saying it was detected. It could have been a delayed message. Maybe you got the virus, it started working it's way in, and several minutes later, it was finally found. Then a message pops up saying it was found. It could really be any number of things.

ninja_lord666 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I guess, if you say it was from Google adds, it was from Google adds. You would know your computer better than I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vagrant0 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 ninja_lord666 please go back to spamming newbies... Since when did you suddenly become the all-knowing master of the site? You don't know anything for sure, ads have been known to spread viruses as they open up webpages, run scripts, and redirect you. Just because you havn't caught one doesn't mean it isn't possible, actually I remember a few months back that people were reporting either a virus or some other malware being installed if they weren't logged into the forums. There was a recent change in ads (they do suck now by the way), so something going foul again without the admin knowing is possible, they don't personally pick adverts. It isn't until people catch these things that those problems are known about and stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
