I don't like to take chances. My brother in law warned me of a virus on youtube that screwed up an office computer pretty good where he works. Said the virus is inside the youtube video programming so that means that any and ALL videos are now infected with a virus that will infiltrate your computer and will screw it up VERY good. Probably make it inoperable.
Now like I said maybe I'm paranoid and maybe there's no articles on it but then again I'm not taking chances so I'm just giving a heads up. Spit at me or say whatever this warning is here for a reason. And if your anti-virus programs don't pick it up, guess what, there ARE viruses that ATTACK ur SAFETY PROGRAMS and render them useless. My advice is to stay off youtube for a bit, at least until it's been confirmed that the virus has been cleaned out (which could be awhile) and just watch the news and give ur friends a heads up. God knows I know I don't need another virus on my computer, the first few times were annoying enough.
