Image Hosting/Virus Question

Are free image upload and hosting sites known to come with viruses, or would it be logical for them to commonly have viruses?

Re: Image Hosting/Virus Question

depends on the site. I stay far away from just about any fly by night free hosting sites both for hosting my own sites and when visiting. More common than a virus will be Spyware or Adware.

If you are looking for a reputable image hosting site try some of these.

even www.yahoo.com offeres some image hosting options.


What makes you think you have a virus?

I thought that it may have been this site called imageshack.us.
I started to get receive viruses once I was using it, and I though that the promblem may be the site since it opens up my personal files.
I don't know why but every week my father takes the computer into get fixed because we get a few viruses that we can't fix every week. And we have Norton Antivirus...I don't know...
