Just don't look at pornsites and you won't get any of that shit. Magazines can't give you trojans or viruses.

Just make sure you have earth link and firefox, cause those programs are good. Btw if you look at the top-left corner of those "shoot zombies and win etc. banners" it tells it has ad-ware. Just to inform everybody who knows or who doesn't.

I hope it stays that way forever, but there are always assholes to mess up peace and happiness, that's how the world works like now ... ;-(

One question though, are the movies that are being submitted to Newgrounds are checked to see if it has any viruses and such before it is brought to the portal? I just wanna know and find a way to stop it from happening.

well no offense edvin but to me it sounds like you have 1 of 2 things, or both.... either you have a.d.h.d., or your paronoid..... thats just how i look at it, because it seems like your flipping out about it and your 13, dont take that in a bad way or anything, but thats what i think
