What websites give computers viruses? - caroline91394 - 04-08-2014 06:28 PM
My dad just got our computer all cleaned out by professional people because there was no way they would get rid of the viruses that were on it. It works so well now and I don't want my family to mess it up again. What are the really bad websites to go on? Is facebook bad? I know that ultimateguitar.com(guitar tabs) is bad, but are there any websites that will hurt our computer again?
we have Nortan and things come up on the screen if there is a risk...but we have always had that and our computer still crashed. Can anyone just give me a list of websites that are bad? just a few common ones?

millions of ppl go on facebook, how can it be bad....?
pretty much all websites are fine especially well-known ones, just sites that look spammy...you can tell when it looks spammy or not...
really the only sites with viruses are the ones you click on or type in by accident, not known ones...
eg if you type in youbtube.com instead of youtube.com
thats how they get ya...

facebook is not bad but don't click on its advertisements and offers.

Caroline there are alot of Malicous websites out there u should download avast from cnet downloads if u click on a website and it's malicous it will automatically block the website and say Avast has blocked you from the malicous site it is also good at getting rid of viruses also try malwarebytes getting rid of malware one byte at a time just type malwarebytes into your web browser and u will find it also facebook is as safe as it can be hackers do try and hack it i have never had any problems no site is safe really esp if it's being hacked hope this info has helped you

Get McAfee security with site advisor. It tells you which sites are bad.
