VIRUSES OR SPYWARES ON NG ?????

[Edvin]

I started a topic because i wanted to know if NewGrounds ever had any virus infection... My friends tell me it is really really simple (they worry, they wont send any viruses and all...) : Since the flash portal is automated and all, you just have to make an infected .swf ? Has it ever happen before ?

Do not worry i am not planning a virus infection on NG, i just want to know if it has already happen...

There was that time the guy made a flash that changed everyone's account names to idiot###, and the password was cookie. About 200 people almost lost their accounts, including Alexsmolik.

they fixed it, so now your flashes are submitted in a subdomain (ungrounded), and cant change anything on the main page, its a whole differnet area, dont worry, and , spyware... maybe on some of the porn ads, if you go deep in, but otherwise, nah, and if, it wont get far

[DeathManofDoom4]

Watch out for Zango. It's australian!

The topic i made is this:

[SoulShadower]

I remember some hacker made a flash and everyone that clicked it, on the forum it would spawn a thread by you saying I like cheese who else here likes cheese? The whole board was littered.

[KingOfTheKill]

About a month ago someone advertised a free version of Flash that infected your computer with a Trojan.

[topcatyo]

Now someone's giving users trojans!

[WadeFulp]

It is NOT possible as we don't allow the .SWF files to run scripts like that.

Well, that's good news, but I don't think it's a .swf that keeps sending me these damn trojans.
I go through about 100 each day!

[rabidsquirl]

I just posted somthing like that, and i am pretty sure its possible

Could you possibly get rid of that Prompt that if you agree to it, it installs over 200 spyware files/programs/whatever? Or do they pay you a shitload to have those?

As for viruses, well, it's already been answered. But we can't forget that program that voted for movies for you.

Well, I never knew about that until I searched for it right now, but that's a good example. But I was talking about that program that JesusCyborg made or posted.

I don't really even want that question answered....

[PhantasmalX]

Been done already....and locked....

[witeshark]

Most, if not all forums have stopped trojans/spyware from working from their websites. Myself, I use a Mac, (Linux on PC) so I don't even think about that sort of thing

[Edvin]

Well you should think about us, NG users that use Windows !!!
