Oh totally, but I get a virus from almost everything I do online. I apparently enjoy the seedy parts of the interwebs.

On Linux, viruses are a joke. So no, I've never "gotten" a virus.

You shouldn't even be getting any if you're even the slightest bit web-conscious.

No, friend. It sacrificed itself for the sake of your mental health. Godspeed, good computer! Godspeed!

I also use Kaspersky because I can get it for free. It's like Spetznaz for your computer.
Never gotten anything with it installed.

I did, however, get a virus from MAL shortly after my antivirus lapsed. Nothing big, though, it just hid all my shit so I had a blank desktop.

I'm dead. Don't come looking for me.

I know a few guys that never watch porn (tried and don't like), but are frequent masturbaters. Porn is just a way to help ya masturbate right? If you don't need it then thats w/e.

You're for all intents and purposes not getting a virus from opening a video or image file. Large majority of the time it is people just voluntarily running executable files they voluntarily downloaded. Rarely from other exploits.

I've never gotten a virus other then the ones I've intentionally installed in a VM. The guy from Nyaa who uploads the same Java virus again and again with names like "Sexy movies porno 4 u" and shit is one of them.

Provided you have some form of virus protection the probability is very low...just get your stuff from the right places and don't download any random executables that pretend to be torrents.

I wish more people thought broken windows = broken computer.

You'd be surprised how many computers just get thrown away or presumed to be trash.

I can't even remember the last time I got a virus in general. I only recently properly installed an AV so I can block a program from doing something. Besides that, I didn't have any AV for a few years, and each time I'd install several programs to check (at separate times, of course), they'd find nothing. So either my computer is safe despite having no protection, or every AV I tested is useless.

Just pay attention, then they aren't necessary.

They probs cleaned the site. if u use adblock it should be ok, the viruses come from the ads.

If you don't believe me google "Mangafox" and "computer virus"

The virus I got was microsoft security Suite and It fucked my computer so hard...I did a system restore like 15 times and it still didn't go away.

Getting a virus is easy as shit (sorry to those who are constipated) , there are 12 files I have quarantined right now.

Btw I use Avast and Malwarebytes

You have to execute a file to get a virus.
You probably got a ton of bloatware that came with whatever you are using =x. System restore doesn't do anything except restore it to whatever its factory default was. I wouldn't consider it close to the level of a clean install.

One time I was watching anime suddenly I was assaulted with terrible and disgusting images, I thought that something had gone wrong with the screen or a virus had taken over.

Then I realized it was just Black Rock Shooter being shit.

Pffft.

Seriously, though, I have been lucky in that I've never actually CAUGHT a virus while reading manga/watching anime, though there have been times when my Norton has been all like "Woah dude, that was a close call!"

Only if you're an idiot who thinks all search engine results are safe, or who clicks every unknown hyperlink. If you have some common sense then getting a virus is really hard.

I laughed also~
NEETs (No Employment Education Training) are the least desirable people anybody would want to hire and yet they are the first choice to become moderators/admins around the internet. They have yet to have established a sense of responsibility or role in society and many are plain leeches (with minor exceptions). They are given "authority" to police sections of the internet with the powers of The Judge, Jury, and Executioner. Isn't that weird?
