use Interenet Explorer on a Windows PC (but keep your virus protection on )

I use FF with XSS disabled, so I very rarely see anything myself.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I got redirected on one thread.

But Firefox seems to save me from the worst ills. (I only use IE for legacy stuff these days).

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

I'm not a fanboy, I just don't enjoy dual analog control.  It's d-pad or wii-mote for me.

the conduit has changed the way wii play games.

I know.  I'm sick of the puns too.

I haven't gotten anything, but if I do I'll be sure to let you know.




Nintendo still doomed?
Feel free to add me on 3DS or Switch! (PM me if you do ^-^)

Yeah, gotten redirected numerous times. Luckily I mostly access VGC at work where I'm using a protected server w/ no Administrator access, etc.

It's funny, too.
Because the url seems to redirect you directly to public IP Address
I didn't save it, though.
Next time it happens (well hopefully, there is no next time) I'll save it.

Theoretically yes, but no viruses have been written for the PS3 (and probably never will). So the real answer is no, only Windows will pick up a virus, as the viruses are written for Windows

This site and the ads and redirects in question are what caused my work PC to get all messed up. Sometimes the computer locks up completely.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Wellllll....being able to run virus on a PS3 would mean that whoever wrote it would have to know how to run unofficial code, and thus homebrew (under the XMB, not linux) would be possible as well...have our black hat wearing friends been able to get that far yet?
