I've been getting viruses from You Tube (www.youtube.com) ever since last week. It's not from any particular video (since I still get viruses when I watch different videos) & it's not my account (cause I still get viruses when I don't log in).
Does anyone else have the same problem?
Viruses Gotten from You Tube Tracking Cookie -Low Risk Bloodhound -Medium Risk Trojan -High Risk

I've never really gotten a virus. There have been bad things to attack my computer but then it scans it and gets rid of it. Nothing's ever happened to me on youtube, not even when I upload videos

Viruses are one thing that always piss me off about computers. I guess it helps to have more than one anti virus program? :-\

Mine is just the opposite. I want to kill my computer sometimes for the virus scanner and pop up blocker, they're so annoying. (or I would consider killin it if it wasn't my precious laptop)

well my subscriptions that came with my computer are all expired (they want us to waste precious money on those programs? They're gotta be nuts.) But the expired programs still do basis protection for everything, you just can't do scans and stuff. I have Norton on mine and maybe a couple of others, but Norton is usually the main one for Windows Vista and XP

no, you techinically have to pay for those programs, but everybody should come with one already on their computer (whether it's expired or not.) Whenever my brother reset the computer a while back (if you guys ever remember freaking out because we thought the harddrive was erased. Seriously, that computer held my entire life since I was 13, which is all my Internet W.i.t.c.h. life too if you catch my drift,) we ended up finding how to retrieve all our files so I stopped being all depressed all day. We found out that since the harddrive had reset that all our programs had to so that the computer was back to the way it was at the very beginning

tridart actually having more than 1 anti-virus might contradict themselves.
I am pretty sure i don't have viruses and i have not gotten viruses from youtube, maybe tracking cookies, but those are mostly pointless things that get killed by my monthly adaware scan, never really done anything to me and not sure where i get them, i have nver had a virus screw me over, mostly other pc problems, viruses are usually pretty easy to handle
