Yesterday, I wanted to show one of my friends Stampers part of the Street Fighter Collab.
We were at school, and I'd forgot my laptop at home. The school computers had blocked NG, and it would fuck up if I tried to proxy my way in here.

Anyways, I asked him if I could borrow his laptop to show him the flash, but he stopped me:
*My friend*: "Newgrounds? That place has got virus's! It fucked up my last laptop!"
*Me*: "That's funny.. never happened to me - yet"

So, I'm asking you guys: has Newgrounds really got virus's? Is my computer already that fucked up that I don't even notice?

Thanks.

The only viruses on Newgrounds are the ones from spammer's flashes from under judgement

You get viruses on Newgrounds the same way you get viruses on Myspace and Facebook.

It has no viruses, but inexperienced people use that as an excuse because their mommies don't like them on such a dirty website. He's full of shit or was on Newgrounds while simultaneously downloading some trojans.

The other day my browser tried to stop me from coming here because it said newgrounds hosts malware.

Chrome agrees.

Viruses on Newgrounds are an urban myth. Just like everything else, they only way to get them is by downloading crap you shouldn't be. And then there's the occasional viral 'under judgment' flash.

Your friend is just saying that because he doesn't want to see it.

That, or he thinks it sucks.

In other words, he's a lying piece of shit that doesn't deserve a laptop

I never had a virus yet, and I doubt it will ever happen.

Never, your friend is a dumb-ass, if he did, he got it from a user, and he's stupid enough to download from a rand user. Or maybe he was multi-tasking and downloaded a virus elsewhere while using NG.

I've never gotten a virus from Newgrounds, maybe he got a pm about a virus called 4chan Fandango and ended up getting a virus from that?

No I don't believe Newgrounds gives you any viruses, but I do think the site can make you sick ;)

I've gotten virus, I just don't think from Newgrounds, people think viruses can just come too easily though, it's actually not that easy. If you're a retard it is.

What often happens with websites which allow live uploads of user-generated content is that a few bad apples will throw a few malicious scripts around, then a few anti-virus / firewall programs will pick it up and eventually run some sort of live update system which spreads the word to a load of other anti-virus / firewall programs.

It's pretty lame, but it can happen.

No, NG doesn't have any viruses at all.

But some gay antivirus like Norton can give you fake virus alerts and sometimes people get viruses
from another website and there's delay on the virus warning, and after they've fapped and are browsing NG they recieve the warning and blame NG.

What the fuck, NG stopped having real viruses about 5 years ago.
