Is it possible to get the Antispyware Virus from saving images to your computer?
Like can the images somehow contain viruses? cause all I do is type things on microsoft, go on youtube, facebook, twitter and yeaahh. that's basically it. And besides that, I just save pictures. So is it possible that I could've gotten a virus from saving images? HELP.

No.
But viruses will use un-patched vulnerabilities in Windows and your other installed software to install themselves without the user doing anything at all. Have you been keeping your computer fully updated? Not kjust Windows but other software like Adobe products? Ads |

Yes, absolutely, I've seen it done.
Youtube is a little more safer than people say, but I do not trust Twitter and Facebook I have had my screen name hijacked on Facebook |
