santana Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I doubt that anything downloaded from youtube would be infected. He's probably getting his viruses from something else. If you're looking for a good (and free) antivirus program, try AVG. You can get it here:AVG Anti-Virus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't even download off of youtube without using something like keep vid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santana Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 what about bear share and i tunes does that give computer virsesI don't know what bear share is, but I highly doubt that iTunes would ever be the cause of a virus. If it was, it would be a total fluke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveysham Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 p2p programs are like aids for your computer so thats where your viruses are coming from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnfnrhead Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 unless your tryin to download porn you wont get virus' off bearshare. limewire is the same.a virus off i-tunes would be a fluke. torrents on the other hand, unless its music etc chances are it will contain a virus cause their are a lot of pricks out there.

highvoltage Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Defrag (weekly)Don't defrag too often. It puts unneccesary strain on your Hard Drive - you'll shorten it's lifespan for little benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
