There have been hacker attacks in the not-too distant past and talks of coordinated attacks. If no one else got it, it's probably not from here.

 

The only other sites I visited were also trusted ones.

 

If I'm paranoid, it's because this stuff can and does happen, and I have no abundance of luck with such things.

 

The kind of attacks perpetrated on this site were not the kind that could give you a virus anyway. Unless you clicked on a link someone posted here you didn't get a virus from here.

 

Also, luck has nothing to do with computer security.

If a trusted site is hacked, then it will usually be fixed in short order. That's what makes it a trusted site. The only time I could exactly pinpoint the source of a virus was a particular page on Deviantart a few years ago.

 

It has only happened maybe three or four times in total, and the two recent instances had ( in timing) three sites in common, one of which was Tip.it. Obviously that's not the source of either.

 

I realize that DDoS attacks are not inherently harmful to the user of a site, but a call for a generalized attack could attract the attention of someone with the means and will to somehow attach a virus to a site. Again, I am now confident that this wasn't the cause, but no harm in verifying.

 

And as policy I no longer click outgoing links, except to something like Youtube.

What the [bleep] are you so paranoid about? I click everything and do all sorts of retarded shit on the internet and I haven't gotten a virus on this computer in the ~4 years I've had it.

Nex, if a site got hacked and turned into a virus hosting site, you wouldn't be the first to know.

But I might get caught up in it before I hear about anyone else with the issue. In the case of Tip.it, most of my day is hitting alt F5 on this site, and if it did somehow become a carrier I would probably get hit as well as whoever might be first.

 

Actually, thinking about it, there is a fourth common site to some degree, a pair of unofficial wiki sites that I believe have the same hosting services. Neither is inherently malevolent, but they might have abyssmal security.

why do you even care

 

the viruses probably aren't even doing anything to your computer

 

you're just paranoid

One only shows a cursor when it's turned on and plays audio with no windows or programs open, the other no longer understands how to use executable files.

Hey Halo, any idea what the song is on that drawball thing you posted the other day?

I've been looking for a band like Explosions in the Sky for a long time. I need music in that style that isn't pony music.

My skin is finally getting soft
I'll scrub until the damn thing comes off

Heh, I have all those bands on my iTunes.

 

The first 8 in the top bands section.

Pielogic?

 

The best kind of logic. A logic for champions.

You're slightly less lame now because you have Canti in your signature.

 

Now get rid of all the other shitty anime stuff and you're good.

Avatar and suff by that guy who made Spirited Away are still okay, right?

 

And maybe a teensy bit of Gurren Lagann?
