right am not sure if this goes in this section...but im pretty ********** off about the ammount of viruses im getting of clicking other people... i found that nearly everytime i click planetbattleground i get a virus....
iv had to download my mediwa player and msn about 6 times each no... is there anything you can do to sort this........
The risk is yours to take, if you don't want to get a virus from clicking links I suggest you get a decent firewall / virus protection etc.
Or simply don't click the link that you beleive are giving you these problems.
Do you have any virus protection or a firewall? I've never had a problem with PBG links. I have McAfee virus protection and firewall, they're not to expensive. I'm assuming others works just as well also.

I run Mozilla Firefox (free download browser) with AdBlock and Cookie culler. I also use SpyBlaster (free) Spybot Search and Destroy (free) Sygate firewall with Etrust anti-virus (all free). In almost 1 year of Yarold's I've Never picked up a virus. Have had to deal with some nasty pop-unders, but I upgraded to the new firefox and it's been quite a while since any have shown up.
All these things I used before coming to Yarold's - not because of this site. Also, if you must use IE - disable all Active X, which appears to be a backdoor for some major nuisance spyware/malware/adware.
