I heard there’s a virus going around on Youtube. If they (youtube) haven’t removed it yet. Read more here: http://techdigest.tv/2007/06/the_trojan_viru.html
I wouldn’t worry any single warning and treat youtube, facebook and any other social networking site with suspicion at all times, as at one time or another they have all had malware exploits.
Yes, and as usual,it requires the person viewing the infected video site, to be logged on as an administrator.Thats why I always browse using DropMyRights.I only ever use full admin rights when I absolutely have to. Some people just can’t be bothered :o
Or use Windows Vista 8)
obviously its ideal not use youtube too much and follow basic security measures but I am the only one in my family that fully understands the dangers of clicking things that appear and such, have you any tips to help keep my family safe online when I’m not around, I am trying to find some form of parental control at the moment

Still, it’s only another antivirus protection, it won’t protect you in the absolute. So, it’s always a risky affair but hey, what a price to pay for fun!
